Josias enters Rocha Constructions and feels that everyone throws him looks of regret. He doesn't understand what's going on.
It’s only Pollyanna who dares to speak directly, “Mr. Rocha, we are sorry for your loss.”
“Have our competitors overtaken us?” Josias jokes, “Is that why they're all looking like we’re in some burial?”
Pollyanna is embarrassed, “No, sir. We... We saw it on the morning news. The plane Kate Bezerra and your son J.J. were on crashed into the high seas.”

Josias goes like a sleepwalker to his office. He only finds himself when he's helping himself to a big shot of brandy.
