Though Rune understands Gideon’s decision, she’s heartbroken as she leaves the hot springs, because she views this as goodbye for them. She returns to the Wentholt home, where she packs her belongings for the train that departs that evening. Abbie attempts to speak to Rune on the stairs, but Rune hurries past her, unwilling to face the girl who is now free to win back Gideon.
Gideon stands at a window of the Wentholt’s cottage, watching Rune leave on Lady. Harrow asks why Gideon didn’t leave with her. He claims that Rune would come to resent him if he chose the cowardly way out and left innocents to be slaughtered. Gideon believes that Rune is the same brave girl he fell in love with, but she’s too scared to remember herself right now. Harrow suggests that he follow her to ensure her safety because Westport Station is crawling with Cressida’s soldiers and spies as well as witch-hunting hounds searching for Rune.
Gideon changes into a suit of Bart’s to help him blend in as an aristocrat and travels to Westport Station. When a witch-hunting hound barks in Rune’s direction and begins dragging his soldier toward her, Gideon purposely runs into the soldier and gets tangled up in the dog’s leash.
