Hlavin Kitheri's Runa tutor Selikat teaches him the Jana'ata epic myths that justify the social system and regularly beats him whenever he asks Why? She does not want him to share the fate of the freethinkers. Seeing a dangerous warp in Hlavin's mind, Selikat encourages him to pursue music, which is illegal for reshtars (third born sons). Overheard, Selikat is taken away for this advice and vanishes. Already over fifty years of age, she likely is slaughtered for her stringy meat.
