With the immediate danger behind them, Berinthas finally seems a little safer, at least on the surface. As the town settles into a rare moment of calm, Shadar prepares for an evening he’s been quietly dreading: a date with Mina.

Awkward moments give way to genuine connection as the pair explore a festival filled with games, food, and romance, letting themselves enjoy a fleeting sense of normalcy. But Berinthas is never quite as peaceful as it seems. A strange encounter and an unsettling offer cast a shadow over the festivities, reminding them that something darker still lingers beneath the town’s cheerful glow.

What begins as a night of laughter and honesty may end with more questions than answers… and a growing sense that their time in Berinthas is far from over.
