Steris is taken hostage while Wax attempts to calm Wayne. Marasi is also kidnapped but in the ensuing gun battle instigated by Wax and Wayne she is able to break free of her captors and provide assistance in the fight. Steris is kidnapped and the trio manage to overcome the staggering number of Vanishers without causing a single casualty amongst the bystanders.
InAfter the aftermathfight, while Wax has an argument with the local Octant's constable Captain, [[Brettin]]. Lord Harms then begs for Wax to find Steris, and afte Wax agrees, he leaves, seeming to be in shock. Wayne then steals an [[aluminum]] gun from the evidence pile, giving it to Wax.
 
The next day, Marasi visits the Ladrian mansion to find Wax deep in his work with metallurgy, trying to determine the exact alloy of the gun Wayne had given him. Realizing he'd been up all night, Wax shows her what else he'd been working on, pulling out a genealogical tree plotted by himself using information in his uncle's library. Marasi leads him to a startling discovery before Wayne shows up with a report on his own investigation; Wayne had infiltrated the Fourth Octant constabulary to gain knowledge of the Vanishers' hideout from the prisoners.
Wax has an odd conversation with Harmony and finds the trunk Tillaume had stored his guns in. Emerging from the mists with his mistcloak on, re-armed, he shoots Miles before Miles can do anything. Wax kills the Coinshot with one of Ranette's Hazekiller rounds and goes after Miles, saving Steris and [[Nouxil]] in the process before demolishing the entire building.
Tarson appears with Marasi as a hostage and Wayne puts up a speed bubble that Wax uses to kill Tarson.
Wayne escapes and Wax fights Miles barehanded. Miles overpowers Wax thanks to his healing ability. untilA little while later, it becomes apparent that it was just a delaying tactic to allow Wayne to mobilize the constabulary. Marasi has had them in a [[cadmium]] bubble (slowing down time for those inside), allowing the constabulary to get there and arrest Miles.
 
Back at the constabulary, Marasi is turned down by Wax and Wax receives a forbearance from Brettin. This surprises Wax at Brettin's sudden change in character{{wob ref|10001}} but he is thankful. Steris shows a little vulnerability and Wax agrees that they should go ahead with their engagement, though he feels a slight regret for Marasi.
