Rain lashes the windows of Stilinski's living room, mirroring the storm inside. Stiles stands trembling, confession hanging heavy in the air: he has been lying. Derek, arms crossed, demands translation from the 'crazy person.' Stiles reveals the truth—he was dead, brought back by Y/N's magic. The realization hits Derek like a physical blow. 'Magic finds a balance,' Stiles whispers. 'There is always a price.' The silence shatters as Stiles drops the bombshell: Y/N missed her father's funeral. Scott, standing nearby, stumbles back, denial screaming 'No!' as the cost of Stiles' return becomes terrifyingly clear.
