In their haste to get away, the youths drop the oil lamp. Bursting out of Hana’s home, they are suddenly jolted fully awake in the cold night air by the burst of flames behind them. The boys begin arguing among themselves over whether they should call for help or run in to rescue anyone who might be in the building. They imagine they can still hear chanting intertwined with the crackling of the flames, the splintering of wood. They imagine they can hear screaming.

Suddenly, from the smoke, a figure emerges. The youths blink and recognize the village headman. They ask him if Hana is still within. He brushes them calmly aside. Without looking at them, he says their names, one by one. Then he tells them to go home, that he will handle this. When one of the youths dares speak up in protest, he is sent sprawling, rebuked by a swift, almost nonchalant slap.

“We will not speak of this night again,” the headman says.
