At a roadside stop Yadiel refuses his relatives' plan to hand Delilah to Fernando in exchange for food. His grandmother, uncle, aunt and cousin Carlos pressure him, arguing Delilah isn't their real daughter and offering four flatbreads that would last five days. They mock Yadiel and call him unfilial; he insists Delilah is his sister and that he paid his own way through school. The dispute escalates until Carlos points out they're still a hundred miles from the capital and volunteers to go find food. Delilah is soothed, but the family's decision remains unresolved.
