A girl named Dahra and her boyfriend Elwood run the hospital. Cookie, who was pinned under the crucifix, screams for pain medication. Dahra worries she doesn’t have enough supplies or experience. Mary brings in a toddler who complains of stomach pain. Dahra inspects the toddler, admitting when she looks up stomach pain in the medical book, the culprit can be anything from constipation to cancer.
Bette bursts into the hospital, words slurred and one side of her body limp, a giant, swollen bump on her head. Dahra, Elwood, and Mary try to help, but before Dahra can research her symptoms, Bette says for them to take care of her brother and passes away.
After Bette’s funeral, Sam blames himself for not staying with her after he walked her home. Astrid comforts him by saying he couldn’t predict Bette had internal bleeding. She says Orc is a murderer, and Edilio agrees that they can’t let this crime go. If they do, will their new society have justice? Sam protests that he can’t simply confront Caine, and Edilio huffs.
Sam admits to Astrid that he’s afraid. He’s regretful and sad about Bette and his stepfather, but he also loves the rush from his light power, so he doubts he’d be better than Caine.
