Arriving at the Golden Carnival's lodging, Ella found herself assigned to Reyna's former room.
The journey here felt familiar, only to realize their villa was right across the street.
Ella contemplated sending a pigeon to Wonderstein but decided against it.
She received the time he agreed to "contact" from Gascon.

"He's certainly diligent in adhering to the sponsor's demands."
"Wasn't it a request to create a spectacle every month?"
