The pair leave the town of Chillfalls, after a few days of rest and relaxation. While they travel south toward the mountains, Eight takes the opportunity to question Rou about his pack and his past. Their jovial travel is disrupted once the village of Pineview becomes visible.
The village has been destroyed, burned buildings and death are the mark of a group Eight has run into before. They recognize the symbol carved into charred buildings, but confess to Rou they haven’t learned the name of the group. As Eight and Rou try to bring peace to those left behind, Eight realizes that they can complete their quest for Professor Trela. When the locket is buried, a rose and a lily spring forth. A moment of peace during a time of sadness.
