Moth is curious about Sani’s father, who is an Indigenous medicine man. She wishes she could make him understand her and her past, as he seems distant and uninterested in engaging with her. Over dinner one night, he tells her and Sani stories. 

That night, Sani wakes up screaming from a dream. Moth holds him and sings to him. The next day, Sani’s dad refills his prescription, insisting he needs to take the pills. Moth worries about Sani, unsure why he keeps stopping and restarting his prescription. His dad gives him other herbs to help him, too, but Sani explains that none of this really helps.
