In this chapter, we learn that the girl's family has gone to the marketplace in order to find her, but they are met by a group of police officers who want to keep the family quiet about the disappearance. The family is outraged, and the police chief tells them that they are making things difficult on the welfare commission. The police chief says that they have been searching the forest for the girl, and that it is normal for them to consider that she did not disappear on her own.
