Scarlett returns to Tella’s balcony room, which is full of new items that don’t remind her of her sister at all. The only thing of note is a box with a clasp shaped like Caraval. Scarlett opens it and inside, finds a letter from Tella to Master Legend dated a year ago. Tella asks for Legend’s help in creating an interesting game and appeals to his love of playing games. Scarlett realizes the game isn’t over yet and insists Jovan take her to Master Legend.

Scarlett demands answers from Legend as to why her sister was in communication with him and why he couldn’t grant her the wish even though she won the game. He reveals he isn’t really Legend. His true name is Caspar, and he’s an actor playing Legend. Caspar can’t provide more details about Legend, but he does give Scarlett a series of six letters between Legend and Tella.

The first letter is from Legend. He’s intrigued by Tella’s question, though he doesn’t know if he can help her, and he reminds her of his history with her grandmother, Annalise. Tella states she is aware of that and also knows a woman killed herself at a Caraval.
