Terilee bursts into a family gathering and accuses Sandro of raping her, sparking a violent confrontation in front of a respected elder. The accused protests while relatives shout threats and demand punishment. The elder, stricken, says he failed the family and even offers to die, then refuses to shield his grandson, calling him a beast. Terilee asks only that the youth be spared and that she accept compensation. The elder spares him for now and rejects payment, leaving Terilee to decide the punishment and the case unresolved.
