Interstitial: Candlenights

Upon returning to the capital city Victoria, the main group was separated by UEG security: Felicity was taken to the PTSD ward in a nearby military hospital, and Rose, Findall and Sebastian were all taken to a holding facility for questioning. The three went to visit Felicity in the hospital and were subject to a psych evaluation by a therapist named Dr. Hathaway. Rose revealed she was struggling with reconciling her faith and the death she has caused, namely the killing of Duran Bloodhammer. The rest of the group did a joint session with Dr. Hathaway, but Felicity was not allowed to leave the ward yet.

Rose, Findall, and Sebastian returned to their housing at the mini-castle outside Victoria. Later that night, Felicity was once again woken up by a visit from Eolas, the god of knowledge, and he gave her a strange pamphlet for Dr. Enae and also gave Felicity a ghostly leg. This entire exchange was overheard by her ward-roommate who she didn't really see and who left the room. Felicity was woken up again by a loud exchange in the middle of the night when Noora went to the military hospital and demanded that Felicity be released. Noora leaves with Felicity and takes her to the mini-castle. Felicity decides to show off her new, weird ghost leg to the group.

A bit later the group attends Tessa's funeral. At the funeral Ellie reveals she is going on leave to take time for herself, leaving the Vici without a pilot.

The group hosts a Candlenights gift exchange at the mini-castle. After the gift exchange, the group finds a metallic box addressed to them. Inside the box is a small metal device with a blue circle in the middle, but they cannot figure out what it is or how to activate it. A note from Senator Wake is also found inside the box that says, "Talk soon." It begins to snow and the crew goes outside to share a moment together, enjoying Cecil experiencing snow for the first time.
