=== Chapter 7 ===
Wax and Wayne return home. Darriance informs Wax that Ranette had been by and had left some equipment for him to test. Wax briefly talks to Steris, who reminds him about Lady ZoBell's party. She informs him that someone tried to kill the governor, so may not be attending. Wax decides he will need to talk to the suspect. Wax puts in his earing, wondering if it had been made by killing someone, to which a voice replies, startling Wax. Harmony talks to him, telling him that a kandra (now known as the Faceless Immortals) named Bleeder is wearing the body of Bloody Tan, and is the culprit behind the murders. He tells Wax that he can't stop her because she is only using one Blessing at a time, meaning she's mad, but unable to be controlled by Harmony. Wax discovers Harmony can read his thoughts, and Harmony explains that he can while the earring is in, noting that Preservation lets him hear Wax, and Ruin lets him speak to him.
Harmony also explains that his hands are tied and he's not able to track Paalm down himself. Hence his plea for Wax's help, though Harmony is promising to send help.
During this talk Harmony also tells Wax that he might have made life too easy for the people of the basing, that they don't explore, didn't yet figure the radio nor did show interest in aviation.
Wax agrees to stop Paalm and the talk ends with Harmony telling Wax he shall be less harsh with Marasi who's also Harmony's agent on Scadrial.
Aradel and the other constables are interrogating the assassin who tried to murder the governor. This assassin, who's name is Rian, held bracers, so they muse if he is a metalborn. The interrogation shows that he is not at his full mind. When Wax joins them he figures the bracers aren't metalminds at all. Wax goes to talk to Rian himself, taking Marasi and telling her about his experience with Harmony. Rian tells them they won't save the governor and that he has something for Wax in his arm. It turns to be a special old coin, a message to Wax.
