Sallivan, the newly declared Crown Prince, intentionally holds a small funeral for his brother to become a target for political rivals, diverting their attention from Elena, who controls the 'White Birds'. He plans to absorb the political heat to ensure her safety and carefree life, even if it means sacrificing his own reputation. Meanwhile, the protagonist returns, reunites with his companions and receives an update on a hostage situation and plans for the future. He also encounters a pet behaving aggressively and a seemingly new character interested in interacting with the spirits.
