Plot line in 'What Light'

This is the end of act 2. Act 3 is the final act.
I realise the plot for this story is confusing because of the variety of characters. I did not intend it to be. What happened is that the story gave birth to characters without my intending it to.
It probably has 2 or 3 different characters for their own stories. I do believe it is not too confusing.
Everything shall become clearer in part 3.
