The narrative flashes back three years and returns to Rika’s point of view.
As Rika waits for the guys in the car, she gets more enraged at Miles and Astrid’s actions. When the guys return, Will instructs Rika to hold out her hand and deposits one of Miles’s teeth and a long chunk of Astrid’s hair into her palm. The guys promise Rika that Miles and Astrid will never bother her again. As they go in search of more food, Will instructs them to stop when they pass the town square. Will walks swiftly to a recently built gazebo and begins to burn it down. Michael explains that it’s because he’s in love with the person who built it, but she is not interested in him. Rika goes back to the car and considers calling the police when suddenly a patrol officer arrives. He begins to arrest the guys and instructs them to remove the masks they are wearing to obscure their identities. Realizing that Michael’s future will be ruined if his identity is revealed, Rika grabs a crowbar from the car and runs up to her family’s jewelry store.
