Wasn't there like a mystery going on at one point or was that wrapped up in the flashback arc?
If you mean with Ellory's dad, the story behind that was that Declan went on a testing run of a new type of ship but it exploded. Upon further review, it turns out that Ellory's mother Eva had been responsible for making sure that the craft was safe for use. Eva then spends months in grief and shame trying to figure out what she missed. But the problem is she didn't miss anything, sometimes accidents happen. However, meeting Declan had helped Eva handle her anger and bitterness issues and his death causes her to relapse into being cruel. After Declan dies, Eva starts to lash out at Ellory for minor mistakes and belittles her for the type of questions a naive child would ask. Ellory then finds out about her father's death at school and the other kids tell her that her mother killed her father. As she grows up, Ellory realizes this isn't completely true but she never forgives her mother for using her as a punching bag when she could have used a caring mother.
