(In KIM'S room she has dressed TAM in his best clothes. She lights Candles at her family's shrine, then picks up the photo of her parents.) KIM From this picture I keep You, my parents, look out And your smiles show no scorn I am happy today For I know what to do And my heart is not torn Spirits know when to fly When it's time There's no reason to mourn For the great sacred bird is reborn From the ashes he'll rise And upon his wide wings I'll watch you from above I will never be far But my son, it's your turn To know your father's love I know now why I came to this earth It's so you find your place But for that I must leave your embrace You will be with your father now Give all your love to him when I am gone Take one last look at me Don't forget what you see For now you must move on You will be who you want to be, you Can choose whatever heaven grants As long as you can have your chance I swear I'll give my life for you No one will stop what I must do My son, I'll give my life for you (she kisses TAM, prays before the shrine, hears people approaching, Blows out the candles. She checks that it is CHRIS coming. She gives TAM a toy, and disappears behind the bed curtain. The ENGINEER leads CHRIS, JOHN and ELLEN into the little room where TAM is playing on The bed. A gunshot. KIM'S body falls out from behind the curtain.)
