* viewpoint: [[brigand]]
brigand is in his new fancy house on lux, but he feels guilty about betraying them. He cooks a steak - a rarity in the world of the reckoners - but fails to fully enjoy it due to visions of the past, and of the friends that he lost. He repeats the phrase "you made your choice". Ultimately, he vomits up the steak, and realizes that he is worse than lifeforce: while lifeforce is building something good, brigand is only looking out for himself.

;Summary
Paige and Jax enter the Arkansas capitol building. They admire the ostentatious space while thinking of a way to cross to the White House, which does not have any natural means to cross to. Though they decide on a crazy plan involving jumping off the edge and throwing a grappling hook, the building shifts, and they find that the stones that once formed bridges between the other state capitol buildings have moved and become a bridge to the white house. They cross the bridge, and enter the White House.

;Summary
Paige and Jax enter the White House. Wingflare greets them and speaks of the thrill of coming very close to death, then invites them further into the house. Paige and Jax try to escape, but the path to the white house has disappeared, so they follow. They follow Wingflare through the labyrinth that is the white house, getting separated in the process. Jax gets trapped in a series of rooms that appear to repeat infinitely, being so quickly rearranged by Wingflare. Wingflare continues to toy with Jax, using her powers to force him and Paige to play her game. Wingflare presents a death game in which three platters are presented, one with poison that would kill either reckoner, one with no poison, and one with poison that would kill only Wingflare. Each person must eat from one plate. Jax initially refuses to play the game - trying to break her bones with his sonic gun - but it fails. Jax comes to the realization that Wingflare's weakness is actually people who refuse to play games with her, and they use this to their advantage to successfully shoot her.
