The silver-working exam is the most dreaded, as the students need to attempt to produce an effect from silver before they’ve been shown the proper techniques. Robin wonders if he was lied to about Anthony’s death or if he imagined the encounter, and decides the latter is more likely due to his exam stress.

One day he thinks he sees Anthony at a bookshop, but Anthony runs away when he sees Robin. At first he’s nervous about leaving the organisation, but soon gets caught up with his third year exams and his mounting anxiety. Robin doesn’t hear from Griffin again following his decision to leave Hermes. Welcome to the fourth discussion of Babel by RF Kuang! We’re about halfway through the book now and things are getting very complicated for our characters.
