Almost at the end of this book Eddie meets Tala, a 5 year old African looking pretty girl, at first he wonders why she is his fifth person if he didn't even knew her. She kept telling him that he burned her and that she was on fired. He didn't really understood what she was trying to tell him because she change from English to African language. While conversing she tells him that when he was in war, and he decided to burn down this place before leaving the war ground not knowing that she was inside it and he burned her to death. He was in shock, when he looked down the back to her she look the same way she did when death ( all burned, no hair, with only one eye..). She tells Eddie about this girl he tried to save before dying; Amy, she says that he did save her and thanks to him she is alive. Eddie keeps asking Tala to forgive him, she then hands this special rock and asks Eddie to rub her body with it, Eddie started rubbing her hands and he saw how every single scarf and burned marks were looking if nothing had happened to her, then he continued with her face, finishing with her head. This way Tala forgave him.
This chapter is significant because Eddie has nothing to worry about anymore, all his questions and problems were solved. He had peace for once.
