A man complains about Seraphina's absence, saying he'll teach her a lesson. Elsewhere, Aurelia overhears her parents insist she is still their daughter even if her sister Seraphina returns. The scene shifts as officials inform a woman, the Lady Inquisitor, that they found a girl at the edge of the abyss, confirmed by divine marrow to be her daughter. The girl, Seraphina, is brought home. She is met with disdain from a woman, likely Aurelia, who calls her a beggar and doubts her identity. Seraphina's first day home is marked by rejection, as she realizes there is no place for her in this family.
