A bit more of detail that I think you missed with the flashback: She is a single mother. She was a dancer, but once she got pregnant she had to quit. She has at least _three_ jobs, not two. The flashback opens with her in a bed in a hotel, room key and cash on the nightstand. We see the hotel nightstand a couple more times to remind us. She takes the money for that dress out of an envelope. That envelope is money that she owes. For what specifically, we don't know. It could very well be the earnings from that other job. In a blink or you'll miss it moment, the debt collectors who take her daughter also take the envelope with the money. They were originally there for the money. But because she bought the dress, she was short, so they took her daughter. The ballet on the roof, that is an extension of a scene in the manga where she dances before taking a final leap off. The thud at the end of that scene is her body connecting with the concrete. That's when she dies. Later, her spirit has been wandering for a long time. She's lost and confused. She knows she's missing something, she just doesn't know what. Aira, a little girl who recently lost her own mother, sees the spirit and mistakes her for her mother. She's close to the same age as Acro Silky's daughter was, and it jogs the spirit's memory. She knows she's missing her child. Because she's been so lost and confused, she convinces herself that this little girl who saw her is her child. Once she decides to become a protector of this child, that's when she becomes a yokai. As your other commenter noted, Aira is _not_ her daughter. Many people all over the world in varying cultures believe the very young and the very old are able to see spirits. That is the thinking that goes with Aira being able to see this woman. Her father clearly doesn't.

Bro thank you so much for clearing that up for us!

All around good reaction but I think you got a bit confused at the end and were unable to untangle yourselves. Acrobatic Silkie had a daughter that she lost, and Aira had a mother that she lost which we got to see in a casket. In a spiritual sense they could be considered surrogate mother and daughter because she finally got to save her "daughter" from death. If you're wondering about the father, he can briefly be seen in the montage of photographs that pass by for a frame. His daughter looks more like him than she does her mother.
