News about the closed shop and the disappearance of Mukus disrupted Ashur's plans to assess the local assortment after successfully completing the assignment. A good merchant always keeps the shop open during working hours, he thought. Was there really no one to put behind the counter?
Near the lake, the squad found Mukus in a battle with an unknown enemy and tried to assist, but it was too late - Mukus was struck down, as was his opponent shortly after. The lilies lying unconscious nearby came to their senses, but it didn't help much - one was grieving over the death of Mukus's opponent, while the others laughed at her and claimed that the two of them had been making fun of them, while Mukus had come to their aid. All this jumbled information shed little light on what was happening. Who was this person, and why did Mukus try not to kill him, while he, in turn, was determined to finish off the lily?
Ashur decided to turn to the rescued women.
— Have you seen Lady Zamia? Rumor has it that she closed the shop early in the morning, posting a sign saying that it would open a couple of hours later, and went to the lake, and there has been no news of her since.
The third lily hit the first one with her elbow and continued speaking for her.
— Zamia is here. — She points to the girl lying in the mud with vacant eyes.

Which one? She just looks like the first half of the items are from the black faction, and the second half from the white.
