At home, a grandchild struggles under her grandmother's sudden harshness, forced to cook, stir, and chop wood without rest or food when she falters. She wonders why Grandma stopped loving her. At the hospital, Ian—addressed as Mr. Warren—resists a risky operation, insisting he won't have the surgery as doctors and family try to calm him. Medical staff warn the success rate is only 5%, and his parent pleads that any chance is worth trying. Ian states his fear; the family vows, 'We won't give up,' leaving his consent and the operation's outcome unresolved.
