After waiting the night and a little searching, Cara finds her brother alive, but changed in the same way sunbird was, his movements taking a second to process and his eyes being black. In the night before Xan's burial, Cara takes her brother's body out to the pack of dogs. In the wake of the incident, she is visited by Duarte, who assures her that the soldier has been punished and will be executed for his crimes. When Cara returns, she learns that her brother, Xan, has been killed by one of the soldiers in a drunk driving accident. The next time she shows up to the pond, the drone has also been repaired. Feeling better, Cara asks the dogs if they can repair the drone she broke.
Upon Cara's next visit to the pond, she sees the mother bird alive with a wax coating around it and eyes of black. During this visit, the pack of dogs returns and steal the dead mother bird. However, she breaks her mother's drone in the process. Upset that she killed the sunbird, Cara brings a drone to help retrieve the baby sunbirds and return them to the nest. After eating the food from Cara's pocket, the sunbird dies. Later that day, she feeds a local sunbird mother food from her pocket, because she saw a lady in a certain book do the same in Paris, on Earth. While hanging out near the pond, a pack of alien dogs approach her and leave when she asks them to. Cara, a child who has lived on Laconia for eight years, is exploring the forest near her house at a pond she likes.
