When she reaches her neighborhood, she learns that the missile has hit one of the two buildings at the end of her street. Her home is one of those buildings. As she approaches, she can barely look up. She hears her mother yelling and running towards her. Her mother tells her that the missile hit the Baba-Levy’s building next door but does not say they are harmed. Marji sees the dead hand of Needa: she recognizes the bracelet. The last frame is black symbolizing the utter desolation that Marji feels.
