The three of them discuss the possibility of a war between the Mings and Night Souls. Mings is planning a duel, but it won't last long because the city is under his control. He tells the three that he's going to go and find out what's up with the girl. He's worried that she's running away from Mings, and he doesn't want to be a part of it. The three decide to sleep together for a few days.
