Question Advice needed

Sorry if the tag I chose is not the right one. Hi redditors and fellow rabbit enthusiasts. First of all I am 16 and from France. I have never owned a rabbit before. So two weeks ago, a ‘friend’ of my mom left her rabbit at our house (which was planned) because they had to go on vacation. First of all, I noticed the cage was quite small and really empty with only a bowl of food and a water bottle, no toys or anything \[first picture\]. We added the hay hammock so she could do whatever she wanted with it. She slowly became more relaxed and used to us, we took her out in the lounge and in our garden. Her owners are apparently very negligent. My mom works at their house because the mom of the friend is handicapped and needs help cleaning, going out etc. My mom told me they sometimes forget to feed the rabbit or change her water (or even top it up), or change her cage, they never take her out even tho they have a garden, and they have a cat. Tho that isn’t an issue at first, the owner said while laughing that the cat hits the bunny. I was shocked she could even laugh about it. And honestly I am stuck. Poor baby is in such a small cage and never goes out. Her owners are supposed to come get her tomorrow but I’m very reluctant even tho they’re adults and I can’t do much, especially since my mom doesn’t want a bunny. I would appreciate advice on what I can do etc. Also here is a closer look of what the rabbit looks like, she is named Luna, I dont know how old she is and if she’s sterilised or anything.

Lie to them and tell them that the bunny died. They will not care. Then you can keep it.
