### Summary
Following the previous chapter's cliffhanger explosion, the narrative shifts from a physical confrontation to a profound spiritual encounter. Leslie is met by the spirits of the countless silver-haired Speràdo children who were sacrificed over generations. The scene is defined by tragedy and innocence, as the children ask Leslie heartbreaking questions about experiences they were denied, such as the taste of cotton candy and what it feels like to be loved by family or have siblings who don't hit them. This interaction provides a moment of catharsis and closure for both Leslie and the lost souls. In a poignant act of sacrifice, her shadow companion, Blackie, stays behind to guide the children's spirits to peace, though one older spirit remains to aid Leslie. The chapter’s tone then undergoes a dramatic whiplash, shifting from deep sorrow to righteous fury with the climactic arrival of Duke Salvator. Dubbed "Papa Bear" by readers, he appears ready to unleash his rage upon Marquis Speràdo, ending the chapter on a note of impending retribution.
