Tillaume makes tea for Wax which Wayne procures for himself in order to take more bendalloy. Wax accidentally insults Marasi and Wayne discovers the tea has been poisoned. Tillaume attempts to assassinate Wax with a gun, whobut Wax injures the butler instead. Concern for Wayne causes Wax to miss Tillaume triggering the bomb in the basket he'd brought with him. Wayne, having recovered a little thanks to his [[Gold#Feruchemical Use|Feruchemical ability]] throws up a speed bubble just as the basket explodes. Wax then taps the weight he had Feruchemically stored, breaking the floor and causing them to fall through to the room below, though Wayne is badly burnt on the back from the explosion. Presumed dead, they use the cover as an opportunity to go after the Vanishers.

Miles is talking with Tarson and [[Clamps]] about Wax having discovered the hideout. Miles rebuts that he is still a lawkeeper, but societies ideas of law do not coincide with his own moral laws, which is why he would not kill the beggars around the old hideout so they couldn't speak to Wax. He believes that to help the people in the Roughs he would need to make a difference here, in the city.▼
