The next day, INKU and OGLAE, enter the room where KEKI lies, TOIRE is sitting by the bedside.
He slept very little and stood by her side all night, right there he attended to his daughter, all next to KEKI.
They respectfully ask to take KEKI to the altar, TOIRE refuses, he will be the one to take his wife to his funeral altar.
The carriages are arriving.
TOIRE is sitting in front of the altar where KEKI lies, he brings his little girl in his arms.
The baby is sound asleep.
TOIRE watches KEKI with sadness, it seems that she is only asleep, she wears the white suit that he put on her, ESU and OKE combed her and placed many flowers around her.
After a couple of hours, in which they have fed the girl it is time to take some food.
TOIRE, as in the previous days, refuses to eat.
OKE gets angry when ESU came back with the plate.
She tells them that she didn't accept food again, she just thinks about KEKI and the girl.
Anger takes over OKE, she gets up furious, takes the plate of food and takes it in her hand, INKU follows her, she doesn't know what she will do, she just knows she needs to do it.
OKE stands in front of TOIRE, he tells her he won't eat.
She orders him to eat that dish, puts it in front of him.
TOIRE pulls him away with his hand abruptly, the plate slipping out of OKE's hand.
Anger is drawn in her eyes.
OKE, with his face blushing with courage, yells angrily at him: do you think you're the only one suffering here?
I'm dying inside TOIRE.
More than anything, because at no time could I do anything for her.
When I was in the castle, I was subdued.
When I wake up I find out that she was raped and expect a son of that man who justified himself with his stupidity of pure blood and divinities!
Damn, TOIRE!
I couldn't protect the man I love either.
How do you think I feel?
My dear friend playing to be the most unhappy in the world!
TOIRE, annoyed, yells at OKE: You don't understand anything!
(TOIRE gets up from his chair)
You can't imagine how I feel!
The girl has woken up and is scared.
Neither of them pays attention to it.
OKE slaps TOIRE with all his might, TOIRE is surprised by her action.
I didn't expect him to assault him.
INKU, rushes to remove the girl from TOIRE's arms, he reacts, getting angry at his friend.
It's pushing and the girl gets scared.
INKU, very serious, says to TOIRE: release it!
When you are calm I will return it to you.
Right now they look pathetic, they don't measure the consequences.
I'll take it, you're going crazy TOIRE!
TOIRE loosens his hands and lets INKU take the girl away, ESU rushes to receive her into the house.
Outside OKE, he slaps TOIRE again, she letting go of crying, hits TOIRE's chest.
Seeing her in this state, INKU, from afar, feels sore, he knows that it was necessary to take out all that anger and pain, only, he did not agree very much with the methods.
TOIRE is too dismayed to react.
Her friend's pain, she is totally sincere, she sees how she yells at him: selfish!
How she beats her chest with her fists closed as she bends her head to hide her tearful eyes.
TOIRE, finally, sees a little light.
He was locking himself in a shell, which he was sinking into the sea along with them.
TOIRE hugs OKE, as he cries along with her, they embrace almost in despair.
He is aware that she hadn't shed any tears, she was enduring to help him.
TOIRE thinks, it's true, I'm selfish, I couldn't see my friends' pain.
KEKI not only left the two of us, he left us all.
The sky is cloudy, the wind has brought many clouds.
After a while, the other friends leave the house.
After an hour, in which they, they went to see KEKI each.
It's time for burial.
NEMU AND NAIFU close the veil keki was lying on, placing the parts on her chest, from side to side.
OGLAE AND FALCOR, remove the bed from the altar, walk towards the hole in the earth.
They go down the bed, carefully between OGLAE, FALCOR, SHIRO and INKU.
When KEKI is left inside the hole, TOIRE looks out to see her for the last time.
It swells in front of the hole.
The other men help to plug the hole with earth that slowly falls covering the body.
TOIRE has stayed in the ted for a while, after they have finished.
WAPURO, approaching him, tells him that the offer to help with the care of the girl, is standing.
TOIRE, looking away from the lump of dirt protruding from the ground, turns to see WAPURO.
TOIRE tells WAPURO that, he must be a good father.
He stands up and sets out to go to the house.
Everyone else is about to have dinner.
They are serving the dishes, TOIRE approaches the kitchen where OKE, ESU and NAIFU are serving, NEMU, FALCOR and SHIRO serve the glasses and carry the bread.
INKU is with the girl next to WAPURO.
The girls, seeing TOIRE arrive, turn to see him.
TOIRE approaches OKE to ask him to please serve him a dish.
OKE, with a relief rictus, serves him a dish and gives it to him.
TOIRE takes it in his hands and silently sits at the table, everyone is surprised, but somehow, a little happier, it seems that TOIRE is reacting for good.
As soon as he finishes, he leaves the dish in the kitchen, tells them that since he did not help cook, he will at least wash the dishes.
TOIRE goes to the room with her daughter, she is asleep.
TOIRE notices moisture in the bed, the girl has urinated.
He takes one of the sapetas they had dry and sets out to change it.
INKU looks at him calmly, it seems that the worst is over.
INKU, is surprised at his skill in this.
TOIRE had been practicing putting sapetas, so this is why he knows how to do it.
INKU, asks TOIRE, what will you call your daughter?
TOIRE is thoughtful.
