Férula meets Clara at a restaurant to talk about her own future, and Clara, sensing Férula's worries, promises that she can live with her and Esteban in Tres Marías after the wedding, and that the two of them will be like sisters. Having never been treated with such warmth and love before, Ferula is overwhelmed by Clara's pure kindness, instantly developing an obsession with her—-not a dangerous kind, but more like a situation where Férula feels a fierce need to protect her.
