Lulu reflects on a transformative moment while walking through bustling downtown streets with Mother and Mr. Jones. As they navigate the crowded market, her perception shifts and she begins to see the lively scene in a different light. The people around her, engaged in various food-related activities, are not simply purchasing items; rather, they are searching for a sense of belonging and connection.

This realization allows Lulu to appreciate the cultural richness of the environment and the deeper significance behind the actions of the crowd. The experience becomes more than just a market visit; it symbolizes a journey toward home and identity through shared culinary experiences.
