The guardian tells the boy that he's his older sister, and that she's the one who ran away from him. He doesn't know what to do now, he says, but he'll be back soon. He's not worried about his sister's safety, he just wants to be safe. The guardian says that he can't leave the boy alone, because if his sister is hurt, they'll have to go back home. He says that's why they've been hiding in this place, because it's so dangerous.
