Synopsis[edit | edit source]
As Haeight is recovering from her near-death experience with Greina’s fans, she is run over by Cara, while she is chasing after Elena. The Helpful Servant is calling for help in a monotone voice. Though initially hesitant, Haeight intercedes, invoking her authority as a [Hunter]. A nearby [Guard] comes over, and threatens to arrest Cara if she doesn’t release Elena. Helpful Servants are a rare sight in Haeight’s hometown, so she isn’t used to them. They are known for working hard for a fraction of the normal prices, and blank-faced when not working, which is part of of what makes them professional. However, Haeight finds Elena’s emotionless behavior to be off-putting, just as much as Cara’s desperation to get Elena to stay. To prevent the situation from going out of control, Haeight volunteers to pay Elena’s fee for the week using her Hunter’s Card, which Elena accepts. Cara is thankful, and recognizes Haeight as the person who nearly ran her over on horseback the previous week. She is slightly passive aggressive when Haeight introduces herself as a Dedicated Hunter. Though offended, Haegiht becomes aghast when Cara explains that she was present at the undead attack in Afiele, an event where Hunters failed to show until a month later. Even the [Singer] takes a step back when she sees the look of Haeight's face. She gives the [Hunter] half-off tickets to the Synphasia as thanks, and offers her any favor. Struck by inspiration, Haeight asks the [Singer] to contact Greina and let her know Haeight’s presence in Meronome, theorizing that the Duchess and her team would probably go to the theatre at some point. Though skeptical that Greina and Haeight are childhood friends, Cara promises to try.
