As she had been paid upfront, Lainya was unable to back out, and reluctantly performed her guarding duty. As she witnessed the Fish's prank, however, she came to accept that they were fairly entertaining to watch, and began to loosen up. In the end, after the day ended (not before Lainya had received a visit from [[Pythagoras-858]] only to let him make his way to the Fish's leaders), she declined to join the Faction but took their parting practical joke in good humour, a stark contrast to her previous attitude towards the Fish.

A short time later, Lainya was hired by [[Rubus]] and [[Sentis]] of the [[Cult of Acantha]]. They fixed an appointment with her at the [[Interdimensional Black Market]], where they explained that they wanted her to assassinate not an entire individual physically, but one specific branch of her anomalous timeline. Lainya was reluctant to thus take a job outside her comfort zone, but was persuaded by the offered price of five [[stell]]s paid up-front. Armed with a [[timeline-trimmer]], she tracked down the target, [[Briar]], to the [[819th Universe]]. However, while about to do the deed, she realised that Briar was only nineteen years old. Outraged, she attempted to kill Rubus, though he escaped with Sentis through a [[shadow-pathway]]. She left, keeping her five stells for her trouble, since Rubus and Sentis had dropped them in their escape (despite Lainya's attempt to contemptuously pay them back).
