Cautiously, Moon Shadow questions Syeha about running with the pack. Did they have rituals where they ate and drank? This far from home, it is easier to talk about, and the girl tells her that yes, they ate a sticky candy and drank liquor. Then there was dancing, and sometimes more than dancing for pairs who felt like it. She never had... that she recalls... because she was enjoying playing the coquette too much; Syeha did remember fights breaking out from changing who one favored that way.

It is an old trick, and a thoroughly despicable one, but maybe to induce so deep a hypnotic state hours later and from afar, it is necessary even for a powerful sorcerer. Because there is no doubt that there is evil magic at work; everyone agrees on that. No, the only problems here are isolating the source and discovering the purpose. And then, of course, it must be stopped. Moon Shadow relays her findings and her suspicions to Syura, Kanu, and Summer Wind for them to act upon in the South.

This makes Moon Shadow wonder if perhaps the girl has been drugged without her knowledge, as Syura has told her about the strange nocturnal compulsions of the young people of her village. Apparently it is impossible simply to follow the sleepwalkers to their destination, because at some point, like an alarm, the teens "notice" that they are being trailed, and wake up confused as to where they are or how they got there. It is possible that the intoxicants are used to lower resistance to spells.

The woman from the Northeast is also quite familiar with pharmaceuticals of all sorts from her first husband's business, and it is not long before she begins to suspect that Syeha has become habituated to... perhaps a form of hashish. Kanu's sister, however, shows none of the characteristic behavior of an addict seeking more of their drug of choice, or facing the grim possibility of an immediate future without it. What she does exhibit are signs of withdrawal, very mild ones only, thankfully.
