Line 34:
Picking up immediately where the previous chapter left off, [[Andromeda]], [[Cassiopeia]], and [[Leo]] tell [[Pandora]] that they ant to go outdoors<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/10/20/chapter-7-page-1/</ref>. Pandora leads them outside while [[Adrastea|Fishguard's Helper]] watches suspiciously<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/10/21/chapter-7-page-2/</ref>.
 
[[VeronicaMiss Fortuna]] and [[Noor]] attempt to comfort [[Isabelle]], who is still reeling from learning that Pandora will die in 20 years<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/10/22/chapter-7-page-3/</ref>. After Isabelle walks away<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/10/23/chapter-7-page-4/</ref>, Noor accidentally brings up memories of when VeronicaMiss Fortuna broke up with Noor. Their relationship had started as that of a courtesan and her client, and VeronicaMiss Fortuna felt she needed to sort out which of her feelings for Noor were genuine and which were faked<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/10/24/chapter-7-page-5/</ref>.
 
The Helper trio is excited to see the outdoors for the first time, but Fishguard's Helper walks up behind them, [[KYAAAA|startling Pandora]]<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/10/25/chapter-7-page-6/</ref>. The newly-arrived Helper scolds Pandora for giving the trio an idea that could get them into trouble, as young Helpers are suggestible<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/10/26/chapter-7-page-7/</ref>. Pandora feels bad for the young Helper trio, but nonetheless encourages them to go back inside<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/10/27/chapter-7-page-8/</ref>.
Line 40:
Back inside, [[Con]] and Isabelle reflect on learning that Pandora will die in 20 years<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/10/28/chapter-7-page-9/</ref>. Con says that the horrible things [[Monopolith]] did to Pandora are the reason they fight, and Isabelle observes that she now has someone to fight for<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/10/29/chapter-7-page-10/</ref>.
 
As the five helpers make their way back inside, Pandora unsuccessfully attempts to steal data from Fishguard's phone. The helpers accidentally enter the middle of the party<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/10/30/chapter-7-page-11/</ref>, where [[Eric Fishguard]] asks his helper, whom he calls Adrastea, what is going on. Adrastea tells a lie of omission, claiming that the three young helpers were "lost" and that she was leading them back to their room. At the same time, [[Hamilton Smith-Rawnsley]] is initially angry that his helpers have left their room<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/10/31/chapter-7-page-12/</ref>, but VeronicaMiss Fortuna quickly invents an excuse that quells his anger<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/11/01/chapter-7-page-13/</ref>.
 
In a private hallway, Adrastea asks Pandora how Pandora is able to show so much independent thought despite Pandora being a young helper, as usually only older helpers can think independently<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/11/02/chapter-7-page-14/</ref>. Pandora tells Adrastea the truth: that Pandora imprinted by accident on someone who wants her to fight her programming and be independent<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/11/03/chapter-7-page-15/</ref>. With considerable physical strain, Adrastea responds that she thinks her master is "not a good man." She also explains that she can lie to him as long as it is a lie of omission, which Pandora thinks is impressive<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/11/04/chapter-7-page-16/</ref>.
Line 46:
Realizing that Pandora needs something from Fishguard's phone, Adrastea circumvents the intent of his orders and lets Pandora use [[Zero]]'s device to get the data<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/11/06/chapter-7-page-18/</ref>. Pandora says that [[The Resistance|people she knows]] could help Adrastea escape, but Adrastea refuses. One day, Adrastea plans to work up enough willpower to escape, and she hopes she will still have enough time to live her life afterwards.
 
Back at the party, Noor laments that Hamilton's helpers are still destined for short lives, but VeronicaMiss Fortuna encourages Noor to try to find a cure<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/11/07/chapter-7-page-19/</ref>.
 
After the party, Zero asks how Pandora got the data, and Pandora says that she made a friend<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/11/08/chapter-7-page-20/</ref>.
