   Summary

   Following Kindly Miquella's footsteps, Needle Knight Leda encounters a Tarnished sorcerer who she befriends. Leda reflects on her faith as the Tarnished progresses through the Land of Shadow, leading up to their fateful confrontation at Enir-Ilim.

   Silly summary: Leda does some self-reflection, makes a gal pal, does a murder, gets sad, doesn't die.

   (Tarnished is named Cheska and is loosely based on an actual playthrough.)
