“She's goin' to Filo's shrine. She's too old for dat. She's almost thirteen--an adult.
Filo is de Loa of Childhood and protects children. Parents pray to Filo for healthy children.
It is even said if a child dies, Filo waits with a child in de afterlife until their parents claim dem.
Dat is superstition, but dat's why she's goin'.
We lost her twin, Janaka. She must think she's with Filo.
The way to Filo's shrine is dangerous, and dat loa won't speak to her. Do what you can to bring her home!”
