As he is on his way to her for that, something terrible happens: he ends up in a scorching tunnel fire, killing many; he too perishes in the blaze. Una is caught off guard by the news at school and many hours of uncertainty follow. When it is confirmed that Diddi too is among the victims, her world collapses. Diddi's friends have come together to stand by each other, and Una has also joined them. She struggles to find a place in this company, which becomes even more difficult when Klara arrives.
