Before the money arrives, a man gives Zillah a gold box and a bill bearing the handprint of Zillah's father. The man asks Zillah to testify in front of the King, but Zillah sees a scar on the man's right hand. Zillah remembers that the night when they first arrived in the city, Zillah brought over some alcohol for drinks. The owner of the good fortune gambled away the money, and Zillah says that the owner made up a story to frame Zillah. He blames himself for not seeing the man for who he really was. He says that he let the man trick him into thinking that he was helping the refugees. He tells Zillah that they need to get the money back so that they can help the poor.

He asks her to give him some money to buy food and clothes, and she says that she will give him the money if he does not give her the money
