Lorelai Murphy is Karliah and Xander's mother. A tough woman, she does most of the work around the house while her husband stays at home, watches the children, and all that. She never knew how to parent her children, and when Karliah's death came to pass, she didn't know what to do. The two had never been close, and Lorelai was truly lost as to how she should feel, what she should do- and this is where Requiem comes in. With the progression of the musical, Lorelai gets to know Evie- and grows to love her, as a daughter- the daughter she never had. In 'To Break In a Glove', Lorelai teaches Evie about doing things the right way- even if it's hard. This is when she realizes- that's what she should have done with Karliah. She should have been there for her daughter. But she wasn't.
