### Summary
The chaos instigated by the disgraced Marquis Speràdo escalates as he becomes a fugitive, reportedly hiding in a garbage heap while clutching the dangerous and unstable "Ephialtes" box. His unpredictable actions have thrown all factions' plans into disarray, prompting a significant development with the Marchioness, who appears to be turning on her husband. Reader sentiment is sharply divided on her motives; while some see a potential redemption arc for a woman they believe was also a victim of the Speràdo system, others argue her actions are purely self-serving to secure a peaceful retirement, highlighting her lack of remorse for the years of abuse she inflicted on Leslie. Meanwhile, Leslie herself faces internal conflict and growing reader frustration. Despite repeated warnings from her adoptive mother, a seer, and even her own shadow powers to abandon her obsession with revenge, she dismisses a crucial message as "just a dream." The chapter also reveals a maid in the Speràdo house is a spy, notes that Conrad is struggling with his own battle, and introduces a cryptic reference to "those kids"—believed by readers to be the protective spirits of Leslie's predecessors—creating an intense, multi-front conflict where each character is facing their own distinct challenge.
