Having grown old, the woman discovers that she is now a great-grandmother and her great-granddaughter worked as a cleaning lady for a Westerner, evidently Neal Brose from the previous chapter. The old woman goes up to the top of the mountain, where the Buddhist temples are, to find freedom for her late father's soul. Her great-granddaughter and niece come to visit her in her shack, and it is hinted that the great-granddaughter found Brose's cash stash after he died and took it. While they stay, she peacefully falls asleep dying in the upper room in her home.
