Making a quick wish, Karou finds herself able to speak seraphimlish, or whatever. Now she can understand what the angels are saying about her.
Bad idea.
Liraz lunges at her, but Karou blasts her with her magical hand eyeballs.
Insert fight scene here.
Things aren't looking good for Karou, so Akiva tells her to fly away and meet him in Marrakesh. She promises to "wait for [him] as long as [she] can" (36.37).
