Henry wakes in hospital determined to keep his dream of joining the national team, but his mother and relatives pressure him to give the spot to his brother Gideon. Doctors argue over immediate surgery while the family insists on delay; a guest bluntly says, 'If Henry's crippled, Gideon can get the national team spot.' Henry, who already suspects someone caused his leg, hears his mother call him selfish and is reminded he's the adopted son. He confronts her, asking, 'So you'd push me to the edge... is that it?' The family's plan remains unresolved.
