On the other hand, Rani, the youngest of the two, is very much hyperactive, which will get her into trouble several times.
Rani proposes that she and her brother should steal some candy. They seem to be experts at it, and they do it. However, Rani does something she should have done in public. When her brother is escaping from some guards, she grabs his flute in her hands with the power of her mind. She has displayed the abilities of a force user. People on the train look at her and threaten her with selling to the Empire. Charuk is about to get captured by Imperial forces, but a rebel group appears, and they manage to escape the chaos.
The train finally arrives at their location. It is a sort of resting place for travelers, managed by an old woman. Charuk says that he got the tip that someone in the resting stop can help them. The old woman welcomes them and gives them some fruit. Rani once again uses her force abilities and caught the attention of everyone around her.
