Rot-Eye Bally disappeared in the city after nightfall, so they needed to act quickly.
The witch's cruise ship did not enter the big lake. After the ship was docked, a small steamboat was lowered. Then Shard and Megan—she had changed back—took the boat to the lake and, seeing the cruise ship with more than half of the cabins unlit from afar, switched to walking on water towards the vessel.
If it weren't still raining heavily, Green Lake at night would be very beautiful. But since it was raining, Shard had no mood to enjoy the scenery.
According to the preliminary investigation by Paradise Island Pharmaceuticals, while Rot-Eye Bally was not on board, there were only the minimum number of sailors needed to keep the cruise ship operating smoothly on Green Lake. And by the time Shard and Megan jumped onto the deck, they found the situation was indeed as they had imagined.
