### Summary
The narrative shifts to an intensely personal and painful confrontation between Iliyan and his abusive father. As Iliyan had tragically predicted, his father deliberately disappoints him, a devastating emotional blow that readers found both heartbreaking and infuriating. This interaction plunges Iliyan into a state of visible distress, amplifying his vulnerability and reminding the audience of his deep-seated trauma, such as not knowing his own birthday. The father is solidified as a cruel antagonist who seemingly takes pleasure in his son's suffering, earning him visceral hatred from the readership. A new dynamic is introduced through the character of Sonja, who appears to be Iliyan's sister and is also depicted as a victim of their father's neglect. Readers speculate that she may intervene on Iliyan's behalf, positioning her as a potential, albeit uncertain, source of hope. While this intense family drama forms the chapter's core conflict, minor reader comments confirm continued interest in the background romance between Gale and Robin, which was a major reveal in the previous chapter.
