In her sleep, Spensa communicates with Jorgen to catch him up. Spensa apologizes to Nuluba for being aggressive towards her, as she had thought Nuluba to be a horrible person like Winzik. Spensa asks Nuluba if she wants to be a pilot, but she replies that she likes things simple. Spensa talks to Shiver, who thanks her for making the assault possible. Spensa asks how Dllllizzzz is doing, and Shiver says that she varies a lot, sometimes almost making full sentences but sometimes only sending tones and hints at meanings. Shiver says that there is a reality icon at Surehold, that appeared with Peg when she was thrown in. Shiver says that icons sometimes move around on their own, so that Spensa’s icon probably wasn’t stolen, but just moved. As Spensa leaves, Shiver requests that if Spensa escapes, if she would open a path for Dllllizzzz and her to leave. Spensa promises to try. As Spensa goes through her pre-flight checks, Chet asks to fly with Spensa into battle. Spensa warns him that it will be dangerous, but she agrees to take him with her.

The delvers have trouble seeing into the belt, and don’t see Spensa’s ship, but Spensa warns the others that they will see them soon, probably when they reach the final portal. Spensa plans to bolt for the lightburst as soon as they retrieve the memories from Solitary Shadow.
