Alphina hasn't got a permanent residence, she is sleeping here and there. At a nightly round she gets in the middle of Pascali, an angry shop owner and little Mia who was caught in the act stealing. Alphina and Mia manage to escape. Mia spits blood, she seems to be injured. Alphina is challenged to find help for her. None of her friends seem to be at home, so she is on her own.
