Having checked on the victim, Rafi rushes upstairs, returns the soup and notices a family portrait of Leni's father which bears a very close resemblance to the corpse lying outside.
In a heightened state of anxiety, waiting for the sound of the sirens, Rafi is forced to continue supper named somewhat unpalatable by the first course being the soup. Leni goes into immediate denial terrified that the death of her father will force them apart and leave her to live with her dysfunctional family.
