Alex and his mother are talking quietly when Tala comes back inside the house.
"Aunt Preeti…Alex, we have found a solution that might be able to help you but it is a bit complicated. For one thing, there is still a risk that things might go awry, but Asema thinks you can make it because you have an extraordinary spirit, Aunt. I would not have pushed it if Asema wasn't quite certain you can make it. But…I won't make you go down that road thinking there is no risk at all. I will be honest with you, Alex…Asema said your mother is fading fast. She said… if her spirit wasn't such a strong fighter, she would have already been gone long before. So she is confident you can make it. I believe it too. I believe a mother's love can be so strong to beat the odds. But ultimately the decision is yours.
