- Now Janie is lying in bed, up late and trying not to emotionally go to pieces over what just happened with Wima and the twins.
- Wima opens the door and demands Janie come out to talk. Without understanding why, Janie gets up and begins dressing.
- Her mother, drinking alcohol, lectures her and reveals that her father has died in war and now she and Janie will just leave one another alone.
- Wima turns to look for Janie's response, but her daughter has left. Wima helplessly looks in her closet, where she sees their unused Christmas ornaments, despairing.
