### Summary
Following the tragic murder of Bayan's mother by the village elders, the current chapter focuses on the immediate, emotionally charged aftermath. Readers are shown a grieving Bayan who appears to be contemplating revenge, a sentiment that has garnered strong encouragement from the audience who urge her to "teach those mothertruckers." This support is simultaneously undercut by widespread fear for her safety, with many comments highlighting her powerlessness against the numerous and depraved villagers. The chapter has also ignited a fierce debate surrounding Bayan's half-brother, Jahan. While some readers see him as a sympathetic victim of his environment and a potential ally, others condemn him as a complicit bystander who is no better than the "scum" elders because he also participated in drinking Bayan's blood. The villagers are universally reviled for their cruelty, with their blood-drinking practice leading readers to label them as "vampires." Amid the intense feelings of rage and sorrow, readers are also questioning the motivations of Bayan's mother, specifically why she chose to remain in the village when escape was an option. Overall, the chapter is perceived as overwhelmingly dark, tragic, and depressing, leaving the audience deeply saddened and furious.
