The group made a stop by the library where they had heard where Ivy was last seen. The woman was at the height of her anxiety when she saw the rubbles that Lyon had created out of the First Hall. However, she managed to reassure herself— with the aid of the matriarch —that she had no obligation to take on the burden that Lyon was supposed to carry.

"Lyon, you stay here," said Cecile as she left the group and entered the library alone.

"I'm not siding with her," said Lumina. "More importantly, we should take a good rest on our side."

Mavis nodded, "I agree, the cave is far from here and we are going there by.... er...."

"Bird?" Lyon casually uttered. "Or will it be Griffi again?" 

"We didn't discuss that, did we?" Mavis smiled wryly.
