Overview

Returning to the Pit Lidors tavern, Annie fights the patrons and defeats Lou, threatening him into silence about her meeting with them. When the chaos dies down, Carly Stratmann appears at last.

Annie and Carly speak together, and Carly confesses to her involvement in the coderoin trade. She tells her that Wayne was a dealer, and her father is the boss of the trade. She and her father agreed to keep coderoin out of distribution in Stohess District, keeping it in the capital alone, but Elliot had broken this promise, causing her to leave home. Carly asks Annie to pretend she was not found.

At the Military Police Brigade barracks, Annie retrieves a permit to Wall Rose and a letter from Elliot Stratmann about Wayne's location. Carly prepares to leave, and while walking with Annie she asks her if she ever went against her own father.

After eating with Carly, Annie gives her the Wall Rose travel permit. Carly bids Annie farewell, and Annie prepares to conclude the day's task.

Summary

Having returned to the Pit Lidors tavern, the patrons begin attacking Annie. She makes quick work of them while Lou struggles to find ammunition for his pistol. As he fires a bullet at her, she throws a bottle in his direction, shattering it against the bullet. Annie catches Lou in the destruction, and taking his pistol she demands that Lou must never speak of her arrival at the Pit Lidors or her meeting with him and Wald. As Lou wets himself in fear, Annie takes back her blade ring. Once the chaos dies down, Carly Stratmann appears at last.

In a private room, Annie and Carly speak together. Carly is informed of Wayne Eisner's death, and Annie tells her that she is willing to overlook her involvement in the coderoin trade if she returns home. The patrons on the floor below are excited about Carly's return, but the bartender informs them that they will have to pay for their own drinks from then on. Carly demonstrates her expertise in chemistry by describing the process of coderoin production in great detail to Annie. She reveals that Wayne was a dealer of the drug, and Elliot Stratmann was in charge of the trade.

Annie and Carly

Annie speaks with Carly

The Stratmann family had been using their carriage business to send coderoin to the capital. Carly had agreed with her father that coderoin would only be sold in the capital, and as long as the agreement lasted she would bring in as much fortune as he wanted. However, Elliot had begun to sell coderoin within Stohess District, and because of this she left home. She chose to live with Wayne for a time and wanted to leave town though Wayne did not. Wayne wanted to earn more money, leading to his blackmail with Wald and Lou, but Lou had betrayed him. After everything is revealed, Carly asks Annie to pretend that she had not been found. Annie asks Carly why she began coderoin production, and she admits that she wanted to keep her father financially stable.

At the Pit Lidors, Carly bids farewell to the patrons and leaves a large sum of money with the bartender, an old friend of hers.

When Carly is gone, Annie thinks back to the time she defied her father. During her strenuous training, Annie had snapped and attacked her father relentlessly. Ever since that day, her father walked with a limp, proud of the strength Annie had displayed. Since that day, her training had been even more brutal.
