Moa assures the politician that he will prioritize her medical needs over political ideologies and schedules her surgery for the day before the strike. Yet, logistical challenges arise, compelling Moa to leave the operating room to tend to his colleague Pilar during the procedure.
The climax reveals a shocking twist that centers on Leo and May as they confront allegations of a sexual assault, ultimately substantiated by irrefutable evidence of the victim being attacked.
