Luis and Tito venture further into the dense forest, encountering various creatures along the way. They come across a pack of tarsiers, similar to Tito, who welcome them warmly and explain their role as guardians of the forest.
As they journey deeper, Luis and Tito come across a clearing where a group of humans are performing a traditional dance, the tinikling. Luis is amazed by the beauty of the dance and is fascinated by the different instruments and clothing worn by the performers.
The humans are surprised to see Luis and Tito and ask where they come from. Luis tries to explain that he's not from this world, but the language barrier proves to be an obstacle.
Tito steps in to help, speaking in a language that Luis doesn't understand. To his surprise, the humans respond in the same language, and Luis realizes that Tito is able to speak different languages, including the native languages of the Philippines.
The humans offer Luis and Tito food and shelter for the night, and Luis learns more about the customs and traditions of the local people. He discovers that they are part of the Bontoc tribe and are known for their intricate weaving techniques and their respect for the environment.
As they rest for the night, Luis realizes that there is much to learn about this world and its people. He knows that he has a long journey ahead of him, but he is excited to discover what else awaits him in this magical realm.
