Terri, Anna, Danielle, and, Danielle’s family are at the hospital, waiting to hear how Grandma Evelyn’s surgery went. Danielle cannot even imagine how her grandfather feels because he has known Evelyn for so many years. Members of Danielle’s family whisper about something, and Danielle interjects angrily that she knows all about the Moonsuc conflict. Her grandfather tells her to settle down; they did not tell her because he didn’t want her to get upset. The doctor, Dr. Takoda, who is Moonsuc, comes out and tells the family that Evelyn will be okay. Danielle’s mother reacts to his name, but Dr. Takoda tells her it means “friend to everyone” (301), and she agrees that it’s a good name for a doctor to have. When the doctor leaves, Danielle’s family is silent, as they did not expect him to be Moonsuc. Danielle prays that the land situation is resolved peacefully, though she remains worried.
Anna and her mom provide much of the in-home care for Evelyn as she recovers, and Danielle’s family takes over the work Evelyn usually does. Evelyn tells Terri and Anna that they have been her angels.
