On a cold night, Paedyn and Lenny arrive at her old house, where Calum lets them into the study and down to the hidden basement. The familiar setting still unsettles Paedyn, but she focuses on the Resistance meeting waiting below. Finn and Leena are already there, and Paedyn reflects on how each member contributes specialized skills to the cause.

When Calum asks whether Paedyn has learned anything useful, Paedyn finally brings good news. She tells the group that Kitt unknowingly showed her the secret tunnel earlier that day, giving the Resistance the access they have been seeking. Finn and Lenny praise her success, and Paedyn explains the route in detail while Leena records everything on a map.

Paedyn lays out the tunnel's structure: it begins through the last cell on the left, then splits, with one branch leading to the training grounds and the other to the Bowl and the room beneath the box. This information gives the Resistance a workable path into a critical location. However, Paedyn also reveals the major obstacle: the passage requires a key, and Kitt always carries it.

To solve that problem, Paedyn proposes stealing the key from Kitt at the upcoming ball and passing it to Lenny. Because the final Trial is the next day, she hopes Kitt will not discover the loss in time to stop them. Paedyn then clarifies that anyone entering the box must come through the training-grounds door first, which only opens from the inside, so Lenny will need to let them in before heading toward the Bowl. The group spends another hour refining the plan.

After the meeting, Paedyn and Lenny leave together and stand outside in the cold. Their conversation turns serious as they acknowledge that the ball is tomorrow and the final Trial comes immediately after. When Paedyn quietly admits that she does not know what she is, Lenny reassures her by naming her as Paedyn Gray, defined by her own sharpness, survival, and strength.
