The Holy Trial begins tomorrow, and Ana is instructed to choose the best challenger as her partner. At the temple, a man steps forward and declares that Martha, a woman others mock as a 'cursed freak,' will accompany him instead. Ana intervenes, silencing the bullies and telling the shaken Martha not to doubt herself. She asks Martha to become her soul priestess, a proposal that stirs a deep sense of familiarity in Martha. Later, an unknown threat emerges as someone ominously tells Martha she won't see the next sunset.
