After they rested under the shadows of that tree they continued walking and they reached the city of sorrows by night. They headed directly to see Deidria, but when they reached her house, the door was wide open and people seemed going out and in freely. They were all confused for a moment, the Deidria showed out from between the crowd that was in her lobby, once they saw her, they ran towards her like children who are excited to see their grandmother, and she hugged them back so tightly. Then Anna asked about the odd situation that was happening in Deidria's house:

· Deidria, what's happening here?

· Well, you kids inspired me to help more people. And since I live all alone in this huge house, I decided to make it a pit stop or a home for those who don't have a place to stay, or visitors like you guys when you first put a foot in this city. Come in I'll show you.

They entered her house which was full of people from different ethnicities and ages; some in the corner trying to find the bathroom, and others were sitting around the table eating whatever they all succeeded to cook. Anna and her friends were happy to see the number of changes they sparkled. The next day they decided to wander around the city before they leave. The city seemed much brighter and happier than the last time they were there, they even doubted to call it the city of sorrows again. Happiness and pride were so obvious on their faces, proud of the accomplishments they made, and the happiness they shared.
