We open to a young man and woman who were flirty and looks like they wanted to kiss and stuff. The woman then notices “her” flower missing. It was picked up by a farm girl. Instead of thanking her they beat her up until she literally vanishes. She is transports to the Tower of the Gull in Aretuza. The farm girl meets another young man, Istredd, but this one is much nicer even after she slaps him. He sends her home in an untraceable portal. Yennefer, the farm girl, is totally confused by what is going on.
