As Paul and Elena explore the house, they encounter anitos (protective spirits) and diwata (nature deities) who warn them of an impending "balance shift." Paul discovers a hidden room sealed by his late father, containing a babaylan (shaman) artifact—a tansang knife used for rituals. Meanwhile, strange visions plague Paul: flashbacks of Kuya performing a forbidden pagmamahal (love) ritual to resurrect their sick mother, which accidentally unleashed a malevolent force.
