The pink perfume bottle, named the "Perfume Bottle of Desire" by Shard, was carefully put away before he continued walking forward with Sister Delphine.
The two walked side by side on the unfrozen lake surface, made possible by the power of the evil object, progressing through the mist towards the opposite shore. Along the way, they conversed, and Shard reflected on how, in early winter, they had entered Lake Cherub in a similar manner to meet the "Lake Goddess."
It was now deep winter, and once again, they were walking on the lake's surface.
The next destination before Wednesday midnight was the strange cave that connected two spaces, which Shard and Iluna had crossed.
Although the night was dark, "she" fortunately remembered the direction. With Sister Delphine's help, they evaded the church's main base and continued southwest across the lake, soon finding the small campsite where Shard and Iluna had camped on Wednesday night.
