The attempts to block out, or dull, the other hearts with sheer willpower were completely unsuccessful for Anik, sensing every single heart in the city. She wondered what she should do, run out of the city, start drinking again - when her mind fell on the 8 hearts she had felt when she first moved into Femesh Daer, the 8 hearts that seemed dull or suppressed, and therefore not as nervewracking to her.
"I want to look into something. I'll be right back." she said to Timea and Sybilla. She then wandered in the direction of these hearts, whistling and using her cane, trying to find out where and what exactly they were.
