The events of the prior 24 hours cut to the core of who Mona is. Her character as depicted she is all about two things, control and memory. Her persona, from the prickly appearance and the surly I-don’t-give-a-damn attitude is designed to keep other people at arms length, leaving her always in control. She has based her career on memory, being an art historian and newspaper columnist. Her whole life is based on recording her observations. This incident involves the total loss of control and memory. Trying to bury it goes against the grain of everything that makes Mona who she is. Deal with it in the open or be destroyed by it. Pretending it didn’t happen is not an option.
