Onile asks what rank he is in the war, and the commander replies that he is limited to 15,000 men. He tells Onile to go back and find an "lei" , which is a symbol of strength. Onile says that he must live, even if it means that he and Nina never see each other again. He says that his father told him that a ship would come and take them to safety in three days. He adds that he has accepted a mission and will be returning soon.
