During the finale, when Priscilla was asked, “On a quiet night, you could hear the sounds of nature talking to you. What do you think is it’s message and what would you like to tell it back?” Priscilla replied, “What I can hear is that nature is saying that love is missing. Because people don’t respect each other, they don’t respect the nature, they don’t respect life. That’s why nature is reacting to everything that people do to her. Who suffer is us, humankind. And love is what would solve our problem.”
