To wrap up the day's work, the main character brings Vyn to one of her favorite family restaurants, where he asks for her opinion of him. He confirms her opinions are accurate and apologizes for having lost control of his emotions in the earlier confrontation. The conversation ends on an affirmation that all the positive things Vyn said about the MC had been true, which sends the MC into a panic for the rest of the night.
Later in his study, Vyn records his diary, stating he's surprised she saw his true self so quickly and is looking forward to the day when she "finds out."
The next morning, the MC is awakened by a flurry of messages from Vera Walton stating something terrible has happened.
