Digital Magic
- A third American comes to the house, different from the first or second American.
- Unsure of herself, Lakshmi goes to the man, and he follows her.
- Like the first American, he shakes her hand and asks her for her name and age.
- Afraid, Lakshmi doesn't respond, but the man takes out a camera and takes her picture, assuring her that he won't tell Mumtaz.
- He shows Lakshmi her image on the camera and asks if she wants to leave.
- Lakshmi doesn't know whether or not to trust him or her experience with the drunken American or Anita's stories.
- Seeing her trepidation, he shows her pictures of a shelter and clean girls in school.
- Lakshmi wants to keep him here longer, so she takes out the American storybook Harish gave her and shares her few American words with him.
- Even though she's uncertain, Lakshmi smiles at the man.
