True to his promise, Lakas returns to the farmlands and tells Ganda he will train their warriors. Because of her happiness regarding his decision, Ganda gives Lakas a big hug, which startles them both. Later, Lakas is offered ‘pampainit’ which he graciously declines but wonders what it could be. Lakas assumes that Ganda has returned to be the ‘pampainit’ when he hears a knock on his door but he discovers it to be warm soup, which was given to him by one of the council members.
