• Acheron praised Lin Shuang's improvement, gave her a peach, and sat down to eat one herself.

After Lin Shuang comforted her, Acheron took a photo of her smile and saved Lin Shuang’s words about making up for the sweetness she had lost.

• Acheron tasted Lin Shuang’s peach and was startled when its sweetness returned a sense of taste that The Nihility had taken from her.

• Acheron sensed that The Nihility was no longer eroding her and wondered whether meeting Lin Shuang and their ritual had caused the change.
• Lin Shuang escaped Acheron's test of The Nihility when her ring flashed, and Acheron revealed that her power came from the path of The Nihility.
