Juli was distraught over the news that Basilio has been imprisoned. Hermana Penchang pretended that it was a good thing she drove her out for any relation to her might implicate her. The truth is, she was not happy with her liberty for Juli fasted and prayed for her.
Hermana Bali advised Juli to visit the town clerk who might intervene for Basilio. But her visit was in vain as the town clerk does not have any authority in Manila. Neither did her visit to the Justice of Peace yield any result. Her last option was Father Camorra but Juli was scared of her because of her fondness for girls.
Several days later, there were news that all the students were freed, except Basilio who had no protector. As such, he would then be deported to Carolines. But when the thought of him being executed, Juli, together with Sister Bali, boldly went to see Father Camorra. That night, news began circulating around town that a girl had leaped out the window and killed herself while another ran out of the convent shouting like a lunatic.
