The six comrades arrive at Dal’s estate, but Dal is not there because his business is keeping him in Tamneki. His head of household settles the group into rooms, but Euyn is too paranoid to bathe in his own room, so he goes to find Mikail, who promises to keep watch while Euyn uses his bath. Mikail promises Euyn a passionate night, and as Euyn slips into the hot water, he wonders why Aeri isn’t shaken by the countless deaths of the previous day.

Aeri wanders around the estate and contemplates keeping Royo by her side forever as her attraction for him grows. She hears him laugh for the first time when she imitates his demeanor, and this moment makes him more endearing. She and Royo meet Mikail and Euyn in the hallway, and Mikail offers to gather weapons for them. Aeri asks for a dagger.

For once, the six comrades enjoy a high-quality dinner and are full of stories and laughter. Overwhelmed, Sora leaves, struggling with the necessity of betraying the others in order to secure the crown and save Daysum’s life.
