But after a spectre called an apeth invades their home, Bol and Rial are forced to face the sins of the past. Throughout the story, it's heavily implied the pair are having relationship problems because their daughter, Nyagak, died while escaping South Sudan.

Through a flashback, we discover the reality is far worse. While Bol was in Sudan, he learned the buses set to leave the country were only letting on people with children. Out of desperation, Bol snatched a girl called Nyagak and passed her off as her own to guarantee his place on the bus. Even though Rial saw what Bol did, she said nothing.

After Bol and Rial acknowledge their misdeeds, the apeth informs them that it will resurrect Nyagak if Bol "repays the debt". Wanting to atone, Bol allows the creature to burrow into his body, causing him to experience unimaginable pain.

Just as the apeth is about to kill Bol, Rial cuts the apeth's throat, nullifying the deal. In the final scene, we see Bol and Rial have accepted the evil they committed, and are trying their best to move on.
