Juliette and Roma arrive at Marshall’s safe house just before the streets are blockaded. They sit in silence until Roma says he’s sorry—Tyler was Juliette’s cousin, even if he was his enemy. Juliette hates herself for it, but she doesn’t regret killing Tyler. Roma says he prefers to know the real Juliette, even if it costs him his life. She reminds him that her actions led to his mother’s death, and he counters that his actions led to the murder of her family’s servants—the blood feud has made the consequences of their actions terrible and deadly. Roma asks why Juliette no longer fights to end the blood feud, and she confesses to being afraid of “the consequences […] of love in a city ruled by hate” (318). Roma asks if she loves him and Juliette confesses she does—she always has—and apologizes for lying. Roma embraces her and tells her he missed her.
Kathleen infiltrates a group of workers who have taken the whole city except for a White Flower-controlled area. They are injured and tired, but Kathleen rallies them to fight.
Hours later, Juliette and Roma are still stuck in the safe house, huddled together against the cold. Juliette observes that things won’t go back to the way they were; while the gangs were distracted by the blackmailer and each other, a new power arose.
