On a busy street child Cece narrowly avoids a truck and rushes to help a nearby man who is suffused with strange "bad energy." A bystander identifies dark magic and presses a talisman on the man, warning it will save his life. The man thanks Cece; she refuses payment and only asks for gratitude. Locals then reveal Cece is Aunt Lauren's daughter, abandoned at the sanctum. One person offers to take her home to see her aunt, while others insist she stay to protect the man from the dark energy. Cece is left to decide.
