Maya sees two women set themselves ablaze. She's even more shocked to recognize one of them: Sylvie Burton, a scientist, who is the adopted sister of Maya's best friend. An onlooker says that the two women are martyrs, protesting the Chinese occupation of Tibet. Yet, with so much to live for, why would Sylvie end her life in this horrific way?
