At Scott's hospital discharge, Marisa reveals she used a Trisoul Hall pact to take three years from Issac so Scott's legs could be healed. The family erupts: relatives accuse Marisa of deception and scold Issac for causing the fracture and not being there. The Hall warns that lifespan sacrifices wound vitality and that giving all years brings punishment, but Issac's loss appears medically mild. Scott returns walking and immediately stakes a claim on his parents, asserting he matters most and promising to drive the others out. The household is split and threatened, leaving Marisa and Issac facing Scott's looming eviction.
