At a tense family dinner a man is rejected—"I'll never accept you"—and accused of trying to seize the family fortune. The father-in-law downplays buying a house, but insults follow: tea withheld, mock drinking, a guest leaves to handle files and another says he'll call his sister to hurry back. Separately, someone reports his power is below thirty percent and he cannot cross the maze to Mount Colon, so he will stay with the Gordon family to recover. He senses thick dark energy closing in; the Gordon family will be in big trouble.
