Outside the shop, Grant compliments Jade and orders Joy inside. The shop contains a blazing furnace, rows of insulting brand marks, and an orc slave screaming as an iron sears his chest. Bodyguards drag Joy toward the fire while Grant watches without intervening. Remembering Grant defending her as a child, Joy cries. Jade abandons her gentle persona, grips Joy, heats an iron marked 'worthless,' and smiles cruelly as she approaches Joy's face.
