Yanmei had to use a key to open Nari's room since she meant not to join them for dinner. She remained to weep against her bed, angry at Luiz's decision.
"Nari, it's time for dinner," said Yanmei, bringing the paper bag Luiz left for Nari.
"I - I don't want to eat," Nari weakly said. "I just want to stay here."
Yanmei sighed and sat next to her daughter. She leaned back on her pile of pillows and said, "Luiz may be wrong not to tell you ahead of time, but his leaving is part of his goals in life. Nari, you should be proud of him instead of being angry... True friends support each other."
"When he comes back, he would be an achieved chef, someone you could be proud of! That is something you should look forward to," added Yanmei.
When Nari did not reply, Yanmei said, "Don't make your Dad angry now. Let's go and have dinner. We are all waiting for you."
