As much as I understand the why of what happened to Melie during the enclosure, Ocoho didn't really do anything wrong, if she didn't do it... they would be dead.
This breather chapter was really necessary, allowing the characters to take stock and have a feel for their new situation and allies.
I am loving that Doc found that steel in himself.
Dracoon you little scamp, don't eat the pixies.
