An early confrontation shows an attacker sparing an escort after a forced encounter, then leaving with a surprising prize: ten supreme spirit stones. Someone declares, 'Cailyn, I'll be accepting this dowry,' and hints the stones can heal an old injury. News sparks outrage—avengers vow revenge for a hurt pet and hunt Cailyn. Laura leads a sweep, ordering rooms forced open while a watcher reports, 'Cailyn's been drugged.' They break into empty rooms until one door won't open. Cailyn, trapped and drugged inside, snaps, 'Quit yelling my name!' The search stalls at the locked door.
