These symbols effectively foreshadow another death, Doodle’s, caused by his brothers broken carelessness. After his death, which, interestingly enough, is also quite red, the story starts to come together. “Finally I went back and found him huddled beneath a red nightshade bush… his neck and the front of his shirt were stained a brilliant red … He lay very awkwardly … making his vermilion neck appear unusually long and slim… I began to weep, and the tear-blurred vision in red before me looked very familiar … I lay there crying, sheltering my fallen scarlet ibis from the heresy of the rain.” The foreshadowing adds a more complete ending by wrapping it up and rendering the work more finished.

The dancers arrive by night dressed in the most ornate of dress, like that of the Kalo birds with feathers and body paints constructed from ingredients from around the rainforest to perform the ceremony aimed at eliciting emotional and angered response from members of their neighboring longhouse. They sing out as though they were loved ones lost, taking on the identity of these loved ones reincarnated in the Kalo bird after which they are dressed. As they perform, the members of the group who have experienced the loss grow largely emotional and angry, taking out their anger by plunging torches into the shoulders of the dancers to get back at them for causing such heartache.
