Kian can either "grant him death" or "let him live". And just outside the building, a sinister figure is shown to using it to listen in on Zoë and Reza's conversation. The chapter ends as the camera pans upwards to reveal a listening device paced on a celling fan in the apartment. Zoë returns to her apartment, where Reza is cooking risotto for them both.
Baruti is shaken and decides not to go to the conference in Warsaw as planned.
London and his thugs, who want everyone in the neighbourhood to vote for Konstantin Wolf. Zoë resolves to ask about Hanna another day.Īs Zoë returns to the campaign office, Baruti is being harassed by local crime lord Mr. Apparently Nela knows the girl, so Zoë seeks her out, but after an altercation between Nela and a presumably communist associate of hers outside The Collective, she is in such a bad mood that she refurses to answers Zoë's questions and storms off. Queenie in turn asks Zoë to find out what has happened to a girl called Hanna Roth. Baruti Maphane, the campaign manager, asks her to solicit an endorsement from Queenie, who is influential in the local community. She then goes to her own job, and finally goes to the Unity Party campaign office as part of her political volunteer work. Subsequently she gets some food from Nela Bites to take to Reza Temiz at his workplace. Meanwhile in Stark, it is July 24th 2220 and Zoë is in Europolis having an appointment with her psychotherapist, Dr. Sahya orders Vamon to track down and kill Kian by any means necessary. They are both anxious for Kian to be executed before the First (one of The Six) arrives in Marcuria, as they believe their plan will suffer a serious blow if Kian were to testify before an official court. Vamon and Sister Sahya talk about Kian's escape, noting that the prison's anti-magic charm is only effective inside the prison's walls, not on the roof. Regardless, Kian is still able to escape through the portal. Vamon pulls out his gun and opens fire at Kian, who is wounded in the shoulder and the stomach. Dying either by Kian's or his own hand, Balsay opens the portal, just as Vamon and the guards manage to break the door to the roof down. Said portal requires a blood sacrifice, however, Balsay himself.
Balsay reveals to Kian that he is supposed to escape by a portal spell. Kian and Balsay, with Vamon and a group of guards in hot pursuit, manages to make to the roof. Balsay Bachim appears outside Kian's cell and breaks him out, explaining to him that the resistance has arranged for his escape so that he can "repay his debts" by aiding them in their fight. Some hours later, Kian is awakened by the sound of riot coming from the the lower floors. Murron enters the cell to inform Kian about his pending execution, and ask him about how he wishes to die, and even shares some of his musings on the nature of duty with him, before again leaving him to his thoughts. In his cell, Kian reminisces about his distant past and the events that lead to his imprisonment. But when Vamon threatens his life if he doesn't obey the order, Murron agrees to carry out the sentence by first light. Murron questions this, noticing that Kian hasn't been tried by an Azadi court yet as the protocol dictates, and complains that it will mean extra paperwork to arrange for the execution. In the year 828 in Marcuria, Commander Vamon tells Warden Murron that Kian Alvane must be executed as soon as possible.
