Ocha decided to return to her village - she admitted that living in the city was 'fun' but her clan needed her.
Ocha decided to stay in Svartrau - with Andrei dead, she saw an opportunity not available to any other uriash.
Ocha decided that she wouldn't return to her clan, nor remain in the city. Wanting to forge her own path, she made plans to leave the valley and see the outside world.
