Part 4/6:
Yet, the peace is fleeting. The eerie noise of Ada's biological mother calling out for her begins to gnaw at Maria's peace. Despite her bond with the hybrid child, Maria’s determination to claim Ada as hers leads to escalating tension. Maria's heart hardens as she violently deals with the grieving mother sheep, an act that reverberates ominously through the narrative.
As the couple invites Inar's estranged brother Pédor back into their lives, the tension only escalates. He initially mocks the situation, referring to Ada as a "freak," which sends waves of disquiet through the family. The introduction of Pédor brings to light the darker themes of jealousy, betrayal, and emotional turmoil that threaten to unravel the fragile bonds the family has built around Ada.
