Emilico and company have an unhappy encounter with a Star Bearer that leads to late-night watch duty. Kate frets over the approaching debut. Sides are taken, friendships are forged, and one of Shadow House's mysteries is solved.
And, Emilico, no good will
come of standing up for others.
Du machst dich nur zum Narren, wenn du
so für die anderen einstehst, Emilico.
Y, Emilico, defender a los demás
no termina en nada bueno.
Emilico, dar la cara por los demás
no sirve de nada.
Et toi, Emilico, quelle idée
d’avoir aidé cette fille !
Emilico, non otterrai nulla di buono
difendendo gli altri.
E Emilico, é melhor
não defender os outros.
