Norman tells Emma and Ray that Mujika's blood has the ability to stop demons degenerating, but that all the demons she healed were killed and eaten by the king and nobles 700 years ago to selfishly protect themselves. Ray surmises that this gave demon royalty the ability to control demon society through management of the human meat supply. Records indicated that Mujika was also killed, but she must have survived and been in hiding ever since. Norman sees Mujika's ability to affect demons as a threat to humanity and believes that she and Sonju must be killed. Emma insists that killing Mujika and the demons is not necessary and they fiercely debate their options. Norman finally agrees to delay his plan for fives days while Emma and Ray try to find Mujika. However, Norman tells his Lambda group that he has no intention of altering his plans. Emma and Ray explain their intentions to the other escapee children, then leave with Gilda and Don to search for Sonju and Mujika. An epilogue shows Norman's departure from Grace Field House.
