"You look awful," remarks Moon Shadow, and then she does cry a little, but silently. "I know," says Summer Wind. "But we can't stay. I don't know where Blue Turtle is either, but he'd be happier knowing you're safe." Handing her the bag that is bigger on the inside than the outside, Summer Wind tells Moon Shadow, "Gather everything you can't bear to live without; this will hold it, I promise. However, we haven't got much time, so choose quickly. We can discuss plans later when we're free."

"It's me, Summer Wind," the girl says, "and we've come to get you out of here." "Summer Wind?" and the clouds in the older woman's face lift a little. "Not Butterfly? They told me Butterfly was dead." Moon Shadow shows a bit more animation, but only a bit. "They took Blue Turtle Dreaming away; I don't know where. You should be helping him. I'm not important." "Well," Summer Wind says brightly but softly, "Butterfly may be dead, unless I have need of that name again, but I'm quite alive!"

When Summer Wind finds Moon Shadow, it seems that luck is with her. They are on the second floor alone, and Silver Fox guards the stairway. It is so easy that both siblings are wary of tricks and traps, but so far have not detected any. "Moon Shadow?" she whispers. The woman looks up, and turns even paler than before; it is clear that she has been crying but the tears don't start now. "I tried to help..." the widow says with defeat. Butterfly didn't anticipate this blind, utter dejection.

While Parakeet is repeating her story to supervisor after commander, after supervisor, etc., Butterfly, disguised as one of the junior members of the cabal, walks boldly through Moon Shadow's front door. Her brother is leaping through a back window into an empty room, and Kanu is hanging back invisibly to rescue them if needed. It is very taxing to do anything useful while invisible. Summer Wind has given herself a horrible mock case of acne with rouge and lip dye, so no one wants to stare.

Well, Parakeet will be on the winning side, there. The girl, Summer Wind, can't possibly win, and the Queen will reward her richly for divulging the identity of her true foe. Maybe even with the girl's old title; Princess of Sunrise, or something. Well, that's not Parakeet's favorite time of day, but perhaps something can be negotiated there. Accordingly, Parakeet slinks off to the eastern gate and demands entrance, as she has valuable intelligence for Queen Jade Black Rose. And it opens.
