Despite her sadness over the departure, she expressed excitement for a new adventure in Bali with her daughters and friend Bianca.

The emotional weight was deepened by a recording from her late step-grandmother, Dot Branning, reflecting on loss and love.
In the recording, an emotional Dot could be heard saying: What did that little girl ever do to live a life of losing everything she ever loved. She didn't do nothing, she just wanted someone to love her, to care for her, to pin her drawings on the wall. And I'm sitting here and I'm still alone.
Sonia left flowers for her ex-husband Martin, who died of a cardiac arrest after a metal beam collapsed on him, showcasing the emotional weight of her departure.
