Three months had elapsed since Newt and Galvin had ventured into Aura Ridge, taking residence in Maxwell's abode. Meanwhile, in the present, a group of individuals began making their entrance into Aura Ridge.
Among them were Ryan and Nivel, accompanied by several others who had joined them on their journey into Aura Ridge.
