Tyris is glad to have regained mutual respect with Arastine. She steels herself for the coming battle and tells Eisenhilde what her plan is. "Alright Eisenhilde. Let's keep to the front lines even if it's dangerous. I'm not valuing our lives over anyone else's, hope you understand that. You agreed to take in my foolhardy nature to defend these numbskulls when we merged together, so I hope you're ready."
Astrid is somewhat confident but wants to strike something off of her bucket list. If she does die tonight, she doesn't want to die a virgin! Both her and Kaeda agree they're really just friends, but maybe today they can be... friends with benefits? "My first time with a wolf girl... This'll be pretty wild, am I right?" she giggled. They have fun together throughout the night and thoroughly enjoy it.
Kaeda tells Astrid that night, "If I don't live long enough to help kill the witch but you do, make sure to bite her for me." Astrid squints at this and says, "Um... I'll try, but is stabbing sufficient?" Kaeda slightly grins and says, "Yes."
Beth is fed up. Nothing's gone her way since joining Miasma Battalion, and she's sick of it. She'd became bitter and acting almost robotically recently. She was also obsessed with replacing her missing arm, tired of living without it and sure dark magic could somehow fix her. Even though she hated Arastine, she approached her today to tell her this, "You. This stupid rebellion thing. Is it still going? I want in. I want Marla. That's the only cut of the spoils I want. I want to take her arm and put it where mine used to be. Or I want to put my spirit into her dead body. Or if all else fails I want to summon maggots to eat at her corpse until she's nothing but bone. I don't like you, but I want on your team. Deal?" She extends her hand to shake on it.
