Elias continues to investigate what is sapping magic from Lucy and Simeon. Chise gets a lecture from Hazel on her lack of self-preservation, and the students volunteer to do some gathering at the waste tower as Hallowe'en arrives.
Those who were discarded, yet 
are not even allowed to wither,
أولئك الّذين تمّ التّخلّي عنهم
،ولكن لا يُسمح لهم حتّى بالتّلاشي
Cose scartate a cui non è concesso di marcire...
Aqueles que foram descartados,
mas não podem secar,
То, что стало не нужно,
но не должно было исчезнуть.
