Ria · Ria whispers an escape route while tending to Lyra's injuries in the ruined hall.

How Episode 3 Ends

Caelan's magical blast hurls Lyra backward down the stone steps. She collapses onto the floor, vomiting blood, while Caelan denies her access to the Holy Spring so Seraphina can use it. Can Lyra survive six more days of Caelan's escalating cruelty until the Moon Gate finally opens to let her escape?
