### Summary
The chapter delves into Bayan's life within the Siyo village, centering on a suspicious bloodletting ritual performed by her blind mother. Readers find the practice and the use of a knife absurd, widely speculating that it is not for Bayan's benefit but a ruse to exploit her. The dominant theory is that the village, particularly a manipulative Elder, is secretly harvesting Bayan's blood for its powerful healing properties, which they believe is the source of the Elder's unnatural strength. This hypocrisy is highlighted by the Elder, who calls Bayan a "freak" and a "shame" yet forbids her from leaving the village. A new character, Jahan, the son of the village leader, is introduced; he is kind to Bayan, but she treats him with overt hostility. It is revealed that Jahan was one of her childhood bullies who only changed his behavior after she matured, causing readers to be divided on whether Bayan's coldness is justified or overly harsh. Bayan's mother is also criticized for her perceived passivity and for remaining in a village where her daughter is ostracized. Overall, the chapter builds a strong sense of conspiracy around Bayan's unique powers, suggesting her entire community is complicit in her exploitation.
