Kabir is upset that Appa didn’t tell ajji and ajja about him and Amma earlier, but they reiterate that they used to be more hateful and less accepting of people than they are now. They’re pleased that Amma picked a name for Kabir that honors both the Hindu and Muslim parts of his heritage.

Kabir is pleased not to have guards watching him or to have to ask permission for everything, such as to drink water or use the restroom at night. Ajji and ajja tell Kabir this is his home, but he still doesn’t feel completely at home without Amma.

Kabir eats breakfast with Patti (his grandmother), and then they go shopping for school clothes. She buys him several sets, and when he says he doesn’t need so many, she says it’s good to have more than what’s needed. They also buy a set of clothes for Rani, and Patti lets Kabir use her smartphone to call Rani. He tells her that his father is dead but he’s doing well. She loves the school so far because she sleeps in a tent, eats good food, has lessons outside, and has made friends.
