“You...”
Joy's Father · He stammers in anger after Joy threatens to cancel the snake clan wedding.

“Joy, the random pairing ceremony starts in thirty minutes. You know the ritual for becoming a slave, branding comes first. Kneel, kiss Jade's hands, and announce to everyone in this hall that you surrender your freedom. I'll graciously agree to brand you then.”
Grant · He declares this from the main seat while heating an iron before Joy.
