Synopsis

Following a fierce battle, Taylor and Lucy are praised for defeating powerful enemies, though they deflect some of the credit. The narrative also shifts to Janica, who was observing from the sidelines. Janica reflects on the growth of the main characters, acknowledging their individual struggles and the roles they've played while also suggesting that she is operating outside of this established order. The chapter ends with Janica mobilizing to resolve the ongoing conflict, implying that there is an issue that the established heroes haven't quite addressed, with a mysterious figure from a previous battle seemingly resurfacing.
