Paige asks Cole a few questions to check if he still retains his humanity. She informs him that he woke up after one week, making him one of the last residents to regain consciousness, and briefly explains the situation. In the meantime, Cole is troubled to find his clothes being loose on him since he has no flesh. Paige explains that this phenomenon seems to be a kind of curse, but apologizes that she couldn't break it with any means she knew. Perhaps, she presume, her power was simply insufficient. She also explains that aside from the transformation into monsters, everyone seems to be fine otherwise. When Page finishes her explanation, Nicole comes in. He is relieved that she hasn't undergone any drastic physical changes, being a succubus. She mentions that she gave a helping hand since Paige's place was cramped. When Cole asks what they should do now, she suggests going around the village to see the situation. Paige returns to her sanctum. Looking around the village, the buildings are visibly sturdier than before. The interiors are still the same for now. Nicole explains that there are also traps here and there throughout the village, but they are harmless to residents. Edega is currently examining the situation and plans to make an announcement soon. Gauging the village residents' opinions, there is a small minority who believe this is punishment for the wealth gained through the dungeon.
