### Summary
The conflict culminates in a moment of supernatural, karmic retribution for the Speràdo family. Following the attack on the Salvator manor, Marquis Speràdo is trapped in the very cellar he used for his cruel deeds, now inside a burning building. Readers overwhelmingly interpret this as an act of vengeance not from Leslie, but from the ghostly shadows of children—the spirits of past Speràdo sacrifices—who are seen sealing his fate. This development is celebrated as fittingly ironic justice, as the Marquis now faces the fiery demise he intended for Leslie, with many speculating he will suffocate in the airtight chamber, unaware of the secret air hole his brother once used to survive. While this ghostly revenge unfolds, Leslie demonstrates significant personal growth by independently using her shadow magic to defeat the "etai thugs," a moment praised by readers as her finally overcoming trauma without needing rescue. However, the nature of her victory leaves some to question whether her magic "swallowed" her opponents and if her powers will diminish now that the vengeful spirits have seemingly found peace.
