Ryan returns home only to be bluntly told by a man that he is not welcome and ordered to leave. He instructs his companion, Ms. Barber, to reclaim all the gifts and arrange a payment of 100,000 to sever ties, stating it repays his parents for 'bringing him into this world.' Back at his family's house, Ryan prepares to depart, but another family member insists he stay, change into new clothes, and join the gathering for his grandfather's birthday, creating a clear conflict between his rejection and their unexpected insistence.
