Exhausted by their overnight adventure, the party slept until mid-afternoon. Kyllikki woke to find Hecate asleep, worn out from channeling her mother. She overheard a conversation between Eren and Eli, and found herself pushed to the breaking point at the mention of going home and finding someone dead. Overwhelmed by her emotions, she burst into the yard to avoid breaking anything in the shop as she raged. Eli followed and attempted to calm her by asking about her clan.
While the party was fighting Dacey, Nyx mapped out the locations of other potential suites. Kyllikki couldn't make heads or tails of the map, having little experience of the world beyond Racine or Korkeuksissa. The location in the woods appeared to be the most powerful of the four.
Eli and several other members of the party left to go shopping, while Kyllikki remained behind with Sah-Ghan and Pella. Eli offered to buy a set of mason's tools for Kyllikki, and she accepted, though she had not carved anything in fifty years. Kyllikki and Pella got to know each other better, and spoke of their memories of Racine and their missing families. This time, when Kyllikki claimed Pella as a friend, she had a better sense of what the word meant.
Later, when the party had regrouped, they learned that Eren had been Empress Nikoleta's consort, and had served as the royal assassin. He was not in Racine when the city fell. Someone tried to kill him and he lost a year of his life. When he awoke, Nikoleta was dead and Racine had burned to the ground.
After much discussion, the group decided to cross the Saria Sea to reach the crossroads Nyx had marked on the map.
