It is revealed that the elders poisoned the celebratory meal, an act the mother seemingly foresaw. She knowingly consumed the poisoned food while asking Bayan to sing for her instead of eating, a final, sacrificial gesture that has divided reader opinion. Some view her as a tragic figure who, having seen the future, endured immense suffering to set her daughter on a path to a better destiny. Others condemn her as selfish for not protecting Bayan from the village's abuse or revealing the truth sooner.
