- Sadima sings the Gypsy songs she'd learned from Rinka to Somiss, and he writes them down after questioning her about them.
- Franklin suggests getting Somiss out into the forest to restore his appetite. Turns out that Somiss asked Franklin to fast for eight days so that they'd be on the same page.
- Sadima feels bad for Franklin, so she ladles up some soup for him. Franklin begins to eat a little as they talk.
- Somiss appears, throws the bowl of soup against the wall, and chews out Franklin. Sadima leaves to sit in the dark kitchen, hearing their voices but not their words.
