→Plot Summary
|
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{{17s ref|topic|1227}} 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.
Marasi watches Miles' execution and Wax tracks down his uncle. Wax had suspected his uncle was still alive and playing the role of Mister Suit. [[Edwarn Ladrian]] still has possession of the kidnapped women and Wax's sister. Thinking his uncle broke, Edwarn shows Wax the broadsheet that announces Tekiel's collapse because of the robberies, explaining that they, Edwarn and his associates, bought the Tekiel's business. With no proof to incriminate his uncle Wax grows angry. He has to restrain himself from pulling out a gun but he assures his uncle that he will one day kill him.
Back at Miles' execution, Marasi turns to leave when Hundredlives is finally dead and notices a strange figure. She follow him through alleyways until eventually coming face-to-face with [[Marsh|Ironeyes]]. The former [[Inquisitor]] gives Marasi a book to give to Wax, saying that he gave it to Marasi because Wax would likely shoot him for his appearance. Ironeyes reveals he is an agent of Harmony, and that he wishes for Wax to be sufficiently informed.
