How Episode 1 Ends

Nefti boldly takes the sacred scarab to throw it down to Hemte first. Merit watches her calmly, knowing Hemte was an abusive man whose past military rise relied entirely on her own secret healing skills. Will Nefti cast the scarab straight to Hemte, and who will Merit pick from the crowd instead?
