Riese emerges from the fog of her pain to find herself in a hospital bed in Helmkin, a doctor leaning over her and telling her that her battle wound has been attended to, and that she should rest for a bit. When she tries to get out of bed, the doctor spots the brand on Riese's shoulder: the symbol of the wolf, marking her as a member of the former royal family. Riese realises that this could put her in danger, and pulls herself together long enough to make her way out of the potential death trap.
