Tay'ra comes back with Ronal and Tonowari, only to see Jake trying to comfort him whilst Arutey was sat in a corner of the marui, completely terrified.

"You! What did you do!" Ronal shouts, walking to Jake.

She pushes him off Arutey.

"He did not do anything. Father has been like this since I had come in" Tay'ra replies, as she pulls Jake away.

"I was trying to calm him" Jake says.

Ronal looks down at her father.

"Sempul?" She calls out.

"They're coming. They're coming. They're going to kill her. They're going to kill your mother" he mutters, moving himself back and fourth.

Ronal looks up at Tonowari.

He walks towards her and helps her to sit down next to Arutey.

"Sempul what is going on?" Ronal asks, "who is going to kill who?"

"His people" he points to Jake, his hand shaking as he does so, "his people will kill her. They will kill Magu."

Ronal looks to Jake, "get out."

"I'm sorry, I just-"

"Get. Out!" Ronal shouts to him.

Tay'ra looks to Jake, "go. I will come to you."

He looks at her, slightly confused.

Why would she ask him to leave? She doesn't think bad of him does she?

She holds onto his hand, whispering to him, "I need you to leave. For my fathers sake. I promise, I will come to you myself."

Jake nods, making his way out.

"Why did she touch his hand? Is she in love with him?" Arutey asks Ronal.

"No father. She's not" Ronal replies, giving a glare to Tay'ra and looks back at her father.

"Magu he will kill you! He's going to kill you!" Arutey shouts, looking at Tay'ra.

"Sempul. I am not Magu. It's me. Your daughter. Tay'ra" Tay'ra walks to him.

"I don't have a daughter called Tay'ra? Who is Tay'ra?" Arutey asks.

Tay'ra stops her tracks as she stood still.

"Sempul?" She calls out to him.

Tay'ra was confused. Why could he not recognise who she is? What was going on?

"Get away! Get away from me Magu! You betrayer!" Arutey shouts at her.

"I'm not Magu! Sempul I am Tay'ra!" Tay'ra shouts back.

"Tay'ra. Do not shout" Ronal says to her.

"Why.. why is this happening? What is going on?" Tay'ra looks to Ronal, "why does he not know who I am?"

"I will find out" Ronal replies. She sees Tay'ra feel emotional, "you should leave."

"I can't. I can't just leave" Tay'ra replies.

"You should" Ronal says to her.

She felt helpless.

Tay'ra wanted to help her father, but how could she see. He didn't even know who she was.

"It is not my fault you chose Jake" Ronal mutters.

"What?" Tay'ra looks at her.

"You chose to keep Jake here. You let him stay here. This is clearly his fault" Ronal says.
