A new generation of thugs dominate the market area of Cinere: Rocky, Dimas, and Jack. Igo, who still sells eggs, has changed. Once, Jack demanded a deposit roughly at Igo's stall. Igo does not fight. Dimas tried to stop Jack's action. There seems to be something hidden in the relationship between Dimas and Igo. Igo is defended by Dimas but also hated by him. Dimas feels that Igo has neglected to protect his wife, Dimas' biological mother, who died at the hands of Joe Bandit.
