“The note. Mark sends me the note shaking his head sideways.” Rosa analyses, “What if it’s a clue? A direction?”
Taflen and Rosa immediately go to where Mark might have been pointing. Upon arriving at some sort of small infrastructure, Rosa recognizes the belongings and says, "These belong to Gloin and Mark."
Taflen chuckles, finally realizing what their role is. Taflen says, "We're going to make it seem like we were looking for Something. We're going to trash the place when they return."
“I don’t get it.” Rosa protests, “Why would Arwin wants us to do such a thing? Aren't you overthinking it?”
"Knowing Arwin, nothing is ever coincidental. It's all part of her plan. Upon seeing the trashed place, the merchant will grow conscious and aware that there are others out there set to steal Gloin's designs. He will grow impatient and paranoid rushing the design."
“Then Arwin is aiming for-&l
John sighs and says, "It's going to be okay. I asked Simon's help to cure Mark in exchange for working for him."“Why would you do such-““Would you rather I stay idle there cursing at why I couldn’t do anything despite being a doctor?” John cuts Gloin off, “I had to do something.”Mark places his hands on Gloin and shoots him a look. Gloin sighs and says, “You better finish that mechanism and come back to us soon.”Nexus and John gulp hard as they leave alongside Simon back to the Night Rose ship.As soon as it’s clear, Rosa and the rest heads back to their hideout. Rosa bursts out, “Would you mind explaining what just happened?”"We have no clear idea, in all honesty." Mark starts, and Gloin continues after a long sigh, "Arwin didn't meet us personally, but she left a blueprint of what I have to finish. Nexus came here a little earlier telling us to play along with her
"Arwin clearly instructed us to only contact her when the second part of the mechanism is done. She's going to board the ship. We can't make reckless and unnecessary contacts." Taflen says, "We're going to have to stall.""And how do you propose we do that?" Rosa asks, and soon, everyone looks at her with intent eyes. Rosa says, "Oh great, we're using me. I'm not going to enjoy this definitely.""We've got our tasks. Let's move along."Everyone gulps hard and goes along with the plan.On the other hand, as Nexus and John are brought back to the Night Rose ship, Nexus is being greeted by whistles and snide remarks for being a girl. They tease, "Oh, Simon, you always bring the best ones."“I’m calling dibs!” One after the other starts to shout and staying in character, Nexus hides behind, acting vulnerable and weak as if she is not capable of beating everyone’s ass there.Simon sees Nexus feeling uncomfortable and pats
"John definitely knows this Sinas you're talking about. His reaction about bringing someone back to life gave him away." Simon continues, "He probably worked under Sinas before, but I don't think they had a good relationship. His stern expression suggests that."“That means that he also knows about Arwin’s death.” Luther continues, “Keep an eye on him.”“And the girl? Nexus? Did you find anything about her?” Luther addsTo this, Simon shakes his head, "No. She's quite reserved, and she doesn't seem to pose a threat."“It’s always the ones you least expect.” Luther sighs, “Prepare a spectacle tomorrow. Nexus will be showing us how she creates the first part- if indeed she’s the inventor of such design.”“Why would she lie about that? No one would dare step inside our ship.”"I don't know, but something about her feels off." Luther continues, "She reminds
"I did." Nexus avoids his gaze as she proceeds to the main deck, where everyone starts to gather. The crewmembers start to bring in the tools she needs and the broken parts.She finds John in the crowd and shoots him a look. Nexus pretends to feel nauseous; she makes herself fall hard on the floor, leaving everyone surprised. Luther squints his eyes, knowing that Nexus might be delayed, which makes him even more suspicious.Yet before Luther can even more check on Nexus, John hurries to her side and states, "She's pale. She probably passed out due to low blood or something."Luther flinches and remarks, “Indeed. Nexus told me earlier she… erm… have her period and stuff.”"That explains it," John says and carries Nexus inside a room. He says, "I might need a hot compress and something sweet."Luther retreats back to his room after saying, "Understood. The spectacle will continue as soon as she's woken up. Until then, everyo
She mutters to herself, "They probably tied him up somewhere, but where?"Arwin's eyes start to wander in every corner and every room they might have hidden him, and just then, Arwin's eyes fall on the prison. Where else to hide someone in plain sight? That would definitely be in prison, so Arwin hurries her way to try and make sure that Simon stays there.In just a moment, Arwin assumes the plan John and Nexus came up with to buy some time before I finish the mechanism for them. John injected something in Nexus to make her feel dizzy and unwell, and Simon, who knows the easy fix for that, needs to be far away from the scene.It's reckless, and John will not be able to stay in Night Rose for long if that's the case- then it hits Arwin. What if that is the case?John and Nexus agree to sacrifice John in this plan. John is the one who injected Nexus. Upon Simon's consciousness, he'll examine that and know that John purposely made her feel weak, putting John
"Wait, so you're asking one of us to go back here with the tools and the other to stall?" Rosa asks, slightly raising her voice in the sense of panic and fear. Timothy is still her husband, and she knows this but ever since what happened in the forest, he feels like a complete stranger.For Rosa, her love seems to be overtaken by fear.Right now, she extremely feels scared towards Timothy. The comfort she once felt turned into the darkness of the unknown, and she's afraid she will get sucked within.She opens up, “Timothy… he didn’t even mind killing Taflen. What makes you think he will even hesitate in killing me? I… betrayed him.”Mark calms Rosa down and says, “Timothy won’t hurt you. Trust me. Our plan will work.”Rosa calms down and takes a deep breath. Gloin adds, “Besides, Mark, you’ll be the one doing the stalling. Rosa will come back here with less threat than your intimidating
Timothy points at Cain with a sharp tone. He says, "That man is responsible for Rosa's escape. He brainwashed her!""Or she managed to see inside my head and understand that Pi is using you, and deep down, you know it." Cain protests, "Pi will never set any of those villagers free, nor will she give you the benefits. Pi and the rest will never see you as equal. To them, you are a threat and will always be. It won't be long until they treat you like how they treat Night Rose. Trust me, they will kill you.""You're wrong about that." Timothy responds, trying to convince himself that what he's doing is right, "Night Rose is vile and cruel. It's fitting to see the end.""And yet here you are on your journey to kill Taflen, who lived his life in peace after he left Night Rose. A bit ironic, don't you think?"Timothy finally gets the gist of what's Sinas is doing. Timothy says, "You're looking for Taflen too, right? That means you're going to kill him as well-"
Timothy is still in disarray. He could not believe it, he says to Rosa, “That can’t be… we all saw her. Sinas- you were there, you saw her die… didn’t you?”Sinas nods, "Exactly, so how is it possible, Rosa?"With a deep and sorrowful sigh, she answers, "Arwin came back alone. He… didn't make it, so we're assuming he gave his immortality in exchange for Arwin's life."“And where is Arwin?”Cain cuts him off again and says, “Weren’t you looking for Taflen?”“Well, that too.” He smirksRosa clears her throat, "I'll be leading the way, but… I'm going to need to tied Timothy up. Taflen and Gloin will be there… It's just a precaution, and to be fair, I don't trust you, Sinas. Whatever plan you have, it's always selfish."Timothy scoffs as he stays still being all tied up.Soon the three travel on the way back to the builder's village
