YOU BASICALLY HAVE THE PULSE OF A DEAD MAN'S.
AT MY AGE, IT WOULDN'T BE STRANGE IF I TURNED TO DUST TOMORROW.
IS IT ABOUT TIME TO PASS THE TORCH?
I AM GETTING QUITE OLD MYSELF.
AW, THEN IT'LL BE LONELY THE NEXT TIME I STOP BY~
I'LL HAVE NO ONE LEFT TO BICKER WITH~
JUST SOME YOUNG BRAT SITTING THERE CALLING HIMSELF THE NEW CHIEFTAIN...
EDEN?
WHAT HAPPENED?
GOODNESS... LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE ELSE HAS THE PULSE OF A DEAD MAN.
SHE'LL LIKELY HAVE A HIGH FEVER AND HEADACHES FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
SHE MAY EVEN SUFFER HALLUCINATIONS.
FOR NOW, I'LL DO EVERYTHING I CAN.
GOODNESS, HOW MANY DAYS HAS IT BEEN NOW...
MEDICINE, TREATMENTS,
THEY SAID THEY'VE TRIED EVERYTHING THEY COULD.
BUT SHE STILL DOESN'T SEEM TO BE GETTING BETTER.
ASHA KNEW THOSE FLOWERS WERE POISONOUS,
SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY SHE DID IT...
WE NEED TO TALK.
I THINK
THIS FLOWER IS MAKING YOU LOSE TOUCH WITH REALITY.
...ARE YOU LISTENING?
...DAMN IT.
IT WAS ME.
I DID THIS TO HER.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE COULD BE LEFT DISABLED EVEN IF SHE WAKES UP?
SHE SWALLOWED TOO MUCH OF A POISONOUS PLANT HER BODY HAD NO RESISTANCE TO.
OF COURSE HER BODY IS STRUGGLING TO ENDURE IT.
IF HER FEVER DOESN'T COME DOWN, THINGS COULD BECOME TRULY DANGEROUS.
Goodness, why is he so angry...
Is he going to be alright?
I WAS ONLY WARNING YOU IN CASE-
ISN'T IT YOUR JOB TO BRING DOWN HER FEVER?!
WHOA!
...I'M SORRY.
HAA... WELL, WHEN SOMEONE'S LIFE IS AT STAKE, TEMPERS CAN FLARE.
STILL, YOU NEED TO CLEAR YOUR HEAD.
WHAT GOOD ARE YOU IF YOU COLLAPSE BEFORE THE PATIENT DOES?
F-FATHER...
FATH—
MY LOVE.
ARE YOU THERE?
PLEASE... STOP...
SOMEONE, PLEASE... MAKE IT STOP.
EDEN...!
...YOU—
OH, SHE'S AWAKE! HER EYES ARE OPEN!
ASHA! ARE YOU OKAY?!
TRY BREATHING! CAN YOU SEE CLEARLY?
HOW MANY FINGERS AM I HOLDING UP? CAN YOU FEEL YOUR TONGUE-
GET OUT.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? SHE ONLY JUST WOKE UP.
JUST STEP OUTSIDE FOR A MOMENT.
HEY, THIS ISN'T EVEN YOUR TENT! WHY DO YOU KEEP TELLING ME TO LEAVE?!
I SAID GET OUT.
I'M LETTING YOU OFF THIS TIME.
Almost got hit...
DO YOU HAVE TWO LIVES OR SOMETHING?
OR DID YOU SUDDENLY BECOME AN IDIOT?
HOW COULD YOU DO SOMETHING SO RECKLESS...
...WERE YOU SCARED?
I SUPPOSE YOU WERE.
CONFUSED AND ANGRY TOO.
BUT...
WHAT YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH THESE PAST FEW DAYS, EDEN,
LIAM AND I...
CARRIED THAT BURDEN FOR YEARS.
While joking with the old chief about passing the torch, Eden is urgently summoned. Asha, who ate poisonous flowers, remains bedridden for days with high fever and hallucinations. Eden blames herself and argues with the healer over the fever. Asha wakes up, delirious in her nightmares about her father and Eden, drives everyone out, and stays alone with Eden to confess her fear.
