Confronting His Mother
Filled with a mix of anger, disbelief, and heartbreak, Thad confronted his mother. He demanded an explanation for her actions, unable to comprehend how she could do something so cruel to someone he loved.

His mother initially denied everything, but when Thad showed her the footage, her face turned pale. She finally admitted to adding the shellfish to the dish but claimed it was just a harmless prank gone wrong. Thad couldn’t believe what he was hearing. His mother’s excuse was absurd and didn’t justify her actions in any way.
