Cunejo was always a realist. The unwanted child of a rape victim, he had always hd to fend for himself.
He was touched by the kindness of Dr. Fuentes, and desire of the deserter to help people – and he followed in the deserter’s steps, learning from him and helping the people of Cerca de Cielo.
(The dollars taken from Dr. Fuentes wallet helped keep them in medical supplies for many years to come, and they were able to sell the car, too.)
Dr. Fuentes’ legacy was finally realized, after all – with a second and third generation of healers in the countryside. And Conejo finally had a home where he was wanted.
(A more realistic biography would probably suggest that he was killed a year later by soldiers who finally found the city on the mountain top…)

Did anybody wonder what the people under the trees ate?
