Hailey rushes into a crowded square with someone to save her father, who is surrounded by jeering villagers. Men loudly call him an idiot, taunt that a belly injury left him impotent and unable to have children, and mock Hailey for defending him. She snaps, "My dad's not an idiot!" The crowd pivots from ridicule to coercion—urging Hailey to marry their 'boss' and suggesting men can still take advantage of her. One man openly smells her and is challenged; the confrontation ends unresolved, leaving their safety uncertain.
