Mato e Iselda continúan su conversación, en la que se da a entender que Sly murió hace tiempo, y de que ella y Cornifer están llegando a sus años más mayores, con la memoría de Cronifer empezando a fallar como resultado. Mato insinúa que la relativa continuidad de su juventud es un aspecto de su especie, que le otorga una esperanza de vida más larga que otros insectos. Cornifer llama a Iselda para que mire los mapas de Iselda y sus mercancías.

Cornifer, demostrando sus problemas de memoria que Iselda referenció en su conversación con Mato, pregunta a Hornet si ha visto al “pequeño viajero” (Ghost) últimamente, insinuando que han pasado muchas temporadas desde su última visita. La respuesta de Iselda parece implicar que es un punto de discusión relativamente frecuente, mientras que Mato le da la espalda a la conversación, obviamente tocado por la mención de su estudiante perdido. Este se sorprende por la afirmación de Hornet de que, en efecto, se había encontrado con Ghost recientemente, y que estaba vivo aunque incapaz de volver. Se gira hacia Mato, hablando con claridad sobre su intención de traerlo de vuelta a casa, mientras que Mato mira con estupor.

Lace piensa que este lugar es “un basurero”, pero antes de que pueda elaborar, son distraídos por un tarareo. Al acercarse se revela que la canción proviene de un Cornifer mayor, sentado en el banco icónico del primer juego, iluminado por una farola. Cornifer ofrece un saludo genérico, pero se sorprende y deja su guión al reconocer a Hornet.

Se acerca a la ahora-anciana Iselda, quien le informa que Hornet volvió a casa junto con unos compañeros— incluyendo otra cartógrafa (Shakra). Mato bromea sobre la positividad de Iselda en cuanto un posible rival comercial, una idea que Iselda corta de buen humor, dando a entender en el proceso que Mato ha tomado control de la Tienda General de un antiguo maestro, Sly, el Gran Sabio del Aguijón. Mientras hablan, se puede ver cómo Hornet presenta Shakra a un Cornifer encantado, mientras que Lace y el Príncipe Verde observan.

The four travel companions make their way through the town sighted from the cliffs, which the title text identifies as Dirtmouth: The Beacon Town. The town is well lit and relatively lively, with common bugs milling about their business and paying little attention to their adventurers. Lace finds the place "a dump," but before she has the chance to elaborate, they are distracted by the sound of humming. Approaching the source of the tune reveals an older Cornifer, sitting on the iconic bench from the first game, lit by a streetlamp. Cornifer offers them a generic greeting, but is startled from his script after recognizing Hornet.
