The woman and his father are not getting along. Donato can’t help them. Henrique won’t leave São Paulo, and it would appear that she has got a job at a university in Rio de Janeiro. Donato thinks it will be good when they swap around the visiting arrangements and he and his father go to spend a bit of time with her in Rio. Donato leaves the owl on his desk and from time to time when he stages a battle between it and another toy the owl always wins. The photo of him with Rener (which he only takes out of the drawer on these occasions) is the referee.
Years later, Luisa and Henrique finally work it out. She moves to São Paulo.
