Locked up, Soren mentions this is the unluckiest thing that has ever happened to him. Lilith asks if things simply happen to him, and he explains that's the assumption everyone has and that he fears his luck will run out, so he actually puts in a lot of effort in care it comes to that.
He then asks if she thinks Freya or Layanah betrayed them and she shows doubt, especially as she hasn't seen Freya since the catacombs.The lock is opened by Citronne, followed by the group. They mention they were hard to find, as they're all the way south in Myriad. Soren wonders why they're being held captive in the district of harmony.

Lilith asks about the ghostslayers and Soren mentions the heartseekers.
Amber tells them he worked together with the ghostslayers to be able to track them, as he is part of the heartseekers. He reveals him and Halcyon are both unable to have children, but whatever solution they would find, their kid needed that extra dose of luck to make up for it.Soren asks what they're planning to do with them. Amber tells them they only need Soren and Lilith and that the rest has to leave Atlas or has to die. Citronne tells him they were heading to Brynn anyway.
