This lovely watercolor illustration of Melu was a winner in a Raybearer fanart contest, but the artist it's linked to (@wise_watercolors) is no longer active on Instagram so if anyone knows who to credit please let me know!
These chapters are the ones in which RoShawn starts to feel like her girl Tarisai is not making the most wise choices, and is growing a little worried. Tar also gets called out by her friends for being so willing to throw herself into danger while not allowing them to take similar risks. Meanwhile, she is still seeing strange child ghost spirit demon things, and it's not going anywhere good.
