Hector receives a letter that he has been accepted at the astrophysicist school. In order to visit her, however, he has to go to Europe, which somewhat dampens the initial euphoria. With a heavy heart he says goodbye and Aunt Diana wants to take him to the bus stop. They go first by boat and then by jeep, but eventually in the mud get stuck. Marsu, who has been chasing after them, pulls the jeep out of the mud, but then realizes that Hector wants to leave and he smashes the jeep. Hector and Aunt Diana continue on foot, and during this trek through the beautiful countryside, Hector finds it increasingly difficult to leave Palombia.
