Zero makes their way down the dark strange hallway, grabbing a pebble and turning it into a little light as they do so. As they follow the hallway they find that there is strange tubing connected to the ceiling. Following the tubing they arrive at a room with strange machinery and wiring, and at the center is a reclining metal chair with a familiar person strapped to it. Cela, the spellweaver they met in Isha, has been questioned and tortured for information about Eight. They decide it is worth the risk of getting caught to free her.
Meanwhile, Trix sleeps in their room and dreams of reliving the ritual. This time around, a mysterious voice and a disembodied mouth speak to them from the shadows. The voice and mouth are revealed to belong to Ikar, the goddess of truth. She offers Trix a choice, sharing that they have a mutual problem and she wants to assist them. They can learn how to help their friend or they can learn how to receive an advantage in the journey ahead. Trix makes their choice, and awakens with the knowledge they dreamed of.
