Years later, as Hera is a young adult, life in her home has not improved. She and her parents are still in shock and grief over Baldurs death. Meanwhile, her mother and father, respectively Droplaug and Karl, pursue community life by participating in the village church choir. There, they meet the new priest, Janus, who is liberal and rumored to be homosexual. In the local community, Heras lifestyle stands out. She is bullied by other youths, calling her a devil worshiper. She frequently gets into trouble, doing things such as playing her guitar too loudly in the house and drunkenly stealing her neighbors tractor. She gets a job at a slaughterhouse, but is soon fired for playing metal music over the loudspeakers and scaring off the livestock. She went with her family to a church sermon, but disrupts it by smoking inside. As she walks out and grieves over Baldurs grave, Janus tries reaching out to her, but she initially rejects him. She goes to a community ball, but is kicked out after starting a fight.Her childhood friend Kntur comes with her as she heads home, where they have sex. He tries to start a conversation with her afterwards, but she turns away and leaves the room. One morning, Hera dons corpse paint and furiously herds all of her familys cattle out of the barn in the middle of the winter. Later that night, Kntur comes over to her house to propose to her, but she rejects him and tosses the ring out of his hands. In the wake of Heras behaviour, her parents called over Janus for counseling. He agrees to help her, but then tries asking Karl and Droplaug about the state of their relationship. They initially refuse to talk about it, but Karl later breaks down, blaming himself for his sons death. Afterwards, he and Droplaug open up to each other about it more and, to Heras surprise as she comes home, their relationship starts mending. ........
