An hour later, Suave walks out. His eyes look a little misty, but he seems relieved. We don't talk about what happened in the room. We chat. We have lunch. This is our last day here. Suave has to return a teaching, and we need to get back to work. Maria asks Millie what she thinks about the reunion.

After sharing stories and saying goodbyes, I think we're all feeling a little spiritual. Suave is deep in thought. We ask how he feels, and he says he feels at home.

As we walk down this isolated beach, Suave clutches a water bottle filled with a light pink liquid. It was placed in his hands by Evelyn on the way out. It's a special bath water that she made for him. Jasmine water, rose water, herbs. She prayed over it for peace of mind. This beach feels like the right place for reflection. Here, in this exact spot, the river and the ocean meet.

This time, it's Suave standing in front of Yemaya, the ocean goddess that Suave's mother prayed to for decades for his protection, for his freedom. Suave is standing in ankle-deep water, exactly at the point where the river and the ocean become one. Maria stands next to him. After this trip, I feel an even deeper sense of empathy for Suave.

I see the little boy standing in the body of a 6'3 man in front of me. I think that Maria feels this too. I have a feeling that there are things that she wishes she could take back, but sometimes words aren't enough. So I watch her open the bottle, crouch down, and lift one of Suave's feet softly. She begins to pour water from the bottle.
