They separate her from Valia, at some point. She doesn't know when, exactly; the cell doesn't have any windows, and the cell they take her to instead doesn't have windows either. 

 

She's expecting the guards to do what they want with her, after that. The fact that they don't, that they just leave her there, is — confusing. They didn't hurt Valia, but Valia's an Iomedaean priestess. People will care if they hurt Valia. Maybe they're just busy. Maybe it's the middle of the night and they're all asleep.

 

Victòria is very tired and also very confident that she absolutely could not sleep right now if she tried. She wants to do something, only there's nothing to do. She can't help Valia or Alicia or Raimon. In a few hours, or days, or however long it takes, she'll be dead, and she won't be able to help them from probably-Elysium either.

(It's weird that she's scared of dying. She wasn't scared last time. Maybe it's just that she's never had anything worth living for.)

 

She holds a closed fist over the place where she'd normally keep her holy symbol, and prays. Calistria, don't let them get away with killing Valia. Calistria, please let Raimon escape. Shelyn, please let Alicia escape. Iomedae, show the magistrate and everyone watching the trial that Valia didn't do anything wrong and they should let her go. Uh. Is there a god of not executing people who didn't break the law and didn't do anything wrong — if there's a god like that, please go help Valia—
