"Why do the main character's parents often get the short end of the stick?"
That is what Mila asked while looking up at the sky. She was grumbling toward whoever sent her inside the novel she read before she died.
She becomes the mother of the main character, whose parents are both dead. Mila's character was merely a tool for the MC's character development.
It's a simple, fix-all solution. The author wanted to make the audience instantly sympathetic towards the main character, and the best thing he did was to have the MC's parents die.

After she avoided her death in the original plot, death flags kept coming for her. 

Will the original plot not end if she's not dead?

Main character's parents must die

Everyone is just standing in the middle of the street looking at Mila's lost expression.

They looked like a family on vacation and were, unfortunately, lost in the middle of a strange neighborhood.

"I don't think this is wrong. Berto gave me the map right. But why can't we find a Japanese restaurant?" Mila panicked. She kept on re-checking the location on her phone and was certain that their current location was correct.

However, the building that was supposed to be the location of the Japanese restaurant is empty. They see the windows, through which they can tell that the restaurant is empty. It has nothing inside but only empty space.

"There is no way a business can suddenly clear out overnight." Mila sticks her face to the glass window again to check.

"Should we ask the people around?" Christopher asked.

"You're Lola."
