When Ais is on her way out from speaking with [[Heelis]] about [[Raagent]]'s death, Tain intercepts her saying that they found Sharezan. Tain hands her a [[zinkall]] and asks her to join him on the raid. When Ais asks how he figured it out, Tain says that it was Lokmlen's confession that gave it away. When they arrive in the alleged hideout, Tain raises his zinkall to Ais' head and reveals himself to be Sharezan. A shocked Ais admits her surprise at this revelation and admits that she had suspected Nilto. Ais tries to use the zinkall he gave her to kill him but it puffs and fails. Sharezan laughs at the fact she trusted him when he gave her the weapon, but if it had been Nilto she wouldn't have trusted the weapon. One of his men knock Ais to the ground and, knowing that Ais has a raging emotional conflict inside her, Sharezan gloats to her about the "'''project'''" he has planned for her.{{book ref|ws3|5}}

Sharezan tells Ais that due to her work his operation in Kezare has been fatally compromised, and that he will soon be taking some time off, but he wants to indulge in a hobby of his before he leaves. He tells her that he had Lokmlen plant a firetrap in the orphanage Ais was raised in, and that he is also going to attack and hurt her family and that she won't have time to save both. Then, leaving her with this dilemma, he instructs his men to hold her for one minute, and then let her go, and then runs off. When they release her, Ais runs into the streets in a panic, breathing erratically. She desperately searches for and finds a trackt on the street and, between gasps, tells him to go secure the orphanage. Then, out of breath, she stumbles to her house. When she nears the house she hears a loud banging sound coming from inside and, in a panic afraid of what she will find, she runs upstairs. When she gets inside she sees Tain, holding a sword, being thrown through a wall by Kenton. Kenton tells her that [[Mellis]] and [[Melloni]] are safe, and that this "assassin" was about to kill them. Kenton then explains that he came to ask her something about Raagent, and he saw an armed man entering the house, assumed he was an assassin coming to kill him, and in sheer reflex, lashed out with his sand. When Ais tells him that this attacker was really Sharezan, Kenton moves to kill him, but Ais stops him saying that Sharezan must face proper justice.{{book ref|ws3|5}}
