A note on this passage

The reveal, and it lands with quiet force: the man Leôncio blessed as a rescue is Isaura's father — the very father whose 'importunações' Leôncio was just complaining about. The chapter's mechanism snaps shut. Miguel arrives to buy his daughter's freedom, walking straight into the household that has just resolved to keep her.
