Elise is paid a visit by Inquisitrix Faith, who indicates that the case has been closed on Katherine's abduction, that all those believed to be responsible are either in custody or dead. This comes as a relief to Elise – for it implies that she is no longer under investigation.

After Faith leaves, Elise spends some time with Mrs. Krodos, asking her about her opinion on her involvement in the plot of the Seven Sisters. Mrs. Krodos confesses that she no longer believes in the Seven Sisters, and wishes that they were not worshipped in Babel, though she asks that Elise not reveal this to Cyprian.
