Post-ritual, the Mysterious Acolyte can indeed be found alone without her former guardian acolytes.
1. Though she continues to be hesitant and a little timid, she looks sympathetic at those who have undergone the ritual and seems determined to make her rounds despite having no one to guard her. While her answer is not straightforward, she says that she was "chosen" many years ago, as they have now been chosen. It's unclear if she's referring to her strange appearance or her presence with the Acolytes.
2. Her charms hold the same power as any charm. She says they are a reminder that all blessings from the gods demand a cost. She will depart shortly after.
Some time later, Inej will discover a gleaming charm nearby, hidden beneath a patch of moss. By now, she may have noticed the shrines have begun to bleed.
