The chapter sees characters preparing for a journey to the Holy Empire. One character, having just recovered, expresses a desire to follow the humans and heads there as well, which surprised some. Before leaving, this character gifts another character a magical seal, explaining it is a representation of their bond and magic, attempting to downplay any negative connotations related to the use of similar seals for enslavement.
