Six years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Benja sees that his daughter has grown from a girl into a young woman—a leader in her own right—in what, for him, was the span of time between one breath and the next.

He is not far from her side as they navigate the reunion of the tribes, but it is not until much later that night that they are alone, and he takes her hands to ask her, "What has happened these past six years?"

A dozen emotions seem to pass over Raya's face, and then she collapses against him, sobbing, and all Benja can do is hold her and mourn the years they've lost.
