### Summary
This chapter delivers a critical revelation about the Speràdo family's shadow magic, confirming their long-held tradition was a "huge mistake." Readers learn the family has been systematically weakening its own bloodline by sacrificing their most powerful, silver-haired children, only to transfer a mere fraction of their power to the less potent blonde heirs—a practice widely deemed idiotic. Fan theories flourish, suggesting the "lost" power from generations of sacrifices has accumulated, possibly as vengeful souls, and has now been fully absorbed by Leslie, explaining the unprecedented strength of her abilities. The narrative also advances the central conflict surrounding the "Nightmare" plague. A key discovery is made about the "Shuyena" herb, which is fabled to grant good dreams, leading readers to connect it as a potential cure for the plague. This theory is bolstered by the herb's name mirroring Leslie's middle name, Shuya, and the reveal that her shadow magic can "devour intangible things," hinting she may be able to eradicate the disease itself. Amidst these dark discoveries, Ruenti's decision to share the grim truth directly with Leslie is praised as a moment of trust that reinforces her bond with her new family.
