As they wait for information about the location of Sol, they decide to take advantage of the hospitality of the city and have a few drinks in a local tavern.

At the same time, Isabelle is taken to the healing goddess and in return for being healed, she is tasked to read to a group of the faithful. Unfortunately, what she is tasked to read are the darkest parts of her personal diary.

Back at the tavern, one of the dwarves drinking with them begins to tell a story. At the end of it, Matt recalls one of his own. One where he has to deal with his past and his present in relation to his family. When Chuck decides that the next story should come from Ash and be about why he is a woman in the world of DIE, Ash is saved from having to tell that story by his sister Angela.

As welcome as the group finds their stay in Glass Town, when they find out that Sol has made getting to him harder than they thought, Ash decides that a dramatic gesture to change the course of the game might be in order.
