Summary
Late at night, when he's drifting off to sleep, Alhaitham sometimes wonders what Grandmother would think.
She never knew of his Eleazar. During her final months, he came down with a fever. He saw a doctor not because he felt all that unwell, but because he was her sole caregiver and he didn't want to give her an infection.
The diagnosis shocked him, but it made sense in hindsight. The muscle aches and tremors that he had chalked up to stress then painted a different picture. And over the coming weeks, a patch of skin on his chest developed the signature scaling.
There was no point in telling Grandmother. It would have distressed her greatly, and there was nothing she could have done to change anything. She died as peacefully as it is possible to die, as she deserved, and he mourned her and the future he'd imagined for himself.

Summary
Sometimes there's nothing to do but wait and hope.
In a situation such as the one Fontaine is facing, it is necessary to triage, to prioritize. The people of Fontaine need clean water, unspoiled food, shelter that will not collapse on them in the night, and they need these things immediately. Exports may not be restored for months.
It is only logical that exports of medicine made from a variant of Beryl Conch to treat a condition found in less than one in ten thousand people will be low on the list of priorities.
Even if that medicine is the only barrier between Alhaitham and a gradual slide into death.

Summary
Essek's stomach whined at him like it too had been cast back into the memories where a grumble would have been too forward. The aching hollowness felt somehow reassuring, even though it was unpleasant. It was a little bit of home—and what has home been for him in recent years but a dull ache?
Essek tries to undo the tangled web of ambition, guilt, and alienation that brought him to steal the beacons. He is, after all, his own punishment.
(Detailed ED warnings in the notes of the first chapter)
