## Summary

Everyone heads for the fashion show as Hoshimi goes on stage. Xaillen in is awe even as Hoshimi begins dancing. When Hoshimi gets off, Olwen Edgeworth tries to promote the dress with Flint helping her out. Seven finds Hoshimi after her performance and wants to change her feathers like Hoshimi does. Olwen directs Flint and Sybl Indrax to Merylwind. Seven and Xaillen follow the two of them while Adrian heads for the magic vendor and Olwen heads for the rooftop to look. Merylwind is surprised that she's popular today. She recognizes Flint and he goes first. He asks 'Does Flint have a future?' He picks a card and Merylwind looks at three cards. She mentions that Flint should speak with her after she's done reading the fortunes of everyone else. Meanwhile Olwen and Jojo find a person matching Arpolian's description.

Xaillen is up first and he's looking for someone (Raquel). Xaillen's key is the peacock. His heaven card is the hidden truth which means there are powerful clues to the charge's location hidden in her past with Xaillen. The Elysium card is the vision meaning cryptic words surround him at present. The arborean card is the cricket meaning he is destined to find her. The nirvana card is the lost which means there was a moment where he was surrounded by uncertainty and madness. The outlands is represented by the peacock which means his standing is both a blessing and a curse. Xaillen doesn't know what's holding him back as the limbo card is presented as the sickness. Xaillen will not find her as she was before. The hell card is the wanderer meaning Xaillen discarded anything that was beneath him. The Hades card is the rakshasa meaning whatever shackles Xaillen is a form of slavery. The abyss card is the idiot meaning the battle for Raquel will involve mind games.

Sybl is next and Sybl offers her hand to him. She mentions Sybl has the gift of the harrowing as well so Merylwind decides to teach him how to do it through example. Sybl asks why was he spared during his village's massacre and his role is the empty throne. His heaven card is the avalanche which means Sybl averted a great disaster but not without price. The elysium card is the demon's lantern which means a guide has appeared before Sybl at an opportune moment. The arborea card is the survivor which means Sybl may see what he is looking for again. The desert is the nirvana card meaning Sybl's village was given salvation and rescue when they needed it. The outlands card is the vision which means Sybl has seen glimpses of his past present and future but can't make sense of them yet. The limbo card is the courtesan which means a woman of power knows what happened to his village. The hell card means that someone from a long time ago influenced his family. The Hades card is the locksmith meaning someone gives him the keys to what he seeks although they are guarded. The abyss is his role card, the empty throne. Sybl's answers will come and he won't like them.

Seven is the final one and she has many questions. Merylwind has to restrict her to one so Seven asks who she is. Seven's role is the marriage which means a union of ideas. The heaven card is the betrayal which is a bittersweet card meaning the self sacrifice of someone noble. The nirvana card is Seven's role which is earlier than Merylwind thought. Apparently the union was done out of necessity. The hell card means that a corrupted love surrounded Seven. The elysium card is the republicant which means Seven's surrounded by friends and she can offer an interesting insight. The outlands is the theater which means Seven has been a player on an important stage strung by someone. The Hades card is the queen mother meaning Seven is frustrated that she can't find her current place in it. The Arborea card is a good one meaning Seven with either a happy or satisfying answer or both. The trumpet is the limbo card meaning Seven will act first courageously many times. The abyss card is the courtesan which means a powerful woman is shaping the events in her life and she is her enemy. Merylwind suggests that Seven should stay with her current friends. Seven notes that she should apologize to Jojo and accepts the bottle Jojo got her from Flint.
