A girl going by the name Mariposa emerges after curfew, saying she is looking for her cat, who escaped while she was gathering firewood. The inexperienced young guard didn't believe that a young girl like Mariposa could cause much difficulty. Mariposa was hesitantly allowed entry inside the Town Hall grounds to look for her pet. When they were still looking for the cat, they heard someone jump off the tall wall.  Mariposa is quite unhappy when she discovers there is no chance the purple dye she has all over her face will ever come off, and from the way she puts it, you could really picture being there and witnessing the disappointment on her face.
