Zansi says not until she was a teenager, she went for a festival and saw some boys who were drunk.

He asks what hand she's talking about.
She says the hands were cut off from old Mausi
He asks if it's like a skeleton.
She says it's up to the elbow and they dried it to look like Kilishi.
Oviyon shouts 'Heey!'
He asks how it means she can't leave
She says she doesn't know the rules, she just knows she touched it and now she can't leave.
She asks what his excuse is for staying in Aji.
He says it's business.
She asks if he knows this is the 21st century.
He says he knows he can conduct his business from anywhere.

He says then they will leave together after her service year.
She nods again.
Mausi is coughing.
She tries to reach for her bottle of water on the floor.
Dr Jide walks in and serves her the water.
She drinks and thanks him.
He says it's funny how time changes; one minute, one is high and mighty and the next, lowly and frail
She tells him he's observant.
He says he's also contrite and willing to pay penance for all his wrongdoings.
She asks if that is so.
He says he even came to look for her at the shrine with offerings.
She says he has found her now
He says the gods are merciful.
He says he doesn't want to die and he's willing to make amends.
He tells her he's privy to the possibility of a huge opportunity coming the way of Aji and he's willing to make sure the great people of Aji do not miss the opportunity and do not get the short end of the stick.
She asks if he can do that.
He says the shrine stands in the way of the opportunity and he's willing to help move the shrine
Mausi says the shrine stands on many totems and to move it, the totems need to be unearthed, they are the bones of the dead and if he can remove them, the curse of death on him will be lifted.
He rejoices and assures her that he will not fail.
He runs out in excitement.
Mausi says ' Go and fulfil your destiny.'
