He devotes himself completely, convinced he has found belonging. Benjamin arrives and usurps Julian's identity, claims Olivia, and turns the family against him. Labeled jealous and desperate, Julian chooses death rather than plead for what he earned. After his body grows cold, the family discovers they were conditioned to destroy Julian so he could never leave, and their world begins to collapse.
