i think i might have messed up on mira's story i freed the spirit and it wont let me progress any further with her please help if possible
If you had the event with Maria at the Drunken Cave, you need to go to the Ironholm prison next, where you need the help of the ghost girl Shey from Old Ashton.
Once those events are also done, you can find Maria for the next step at the top left of Havaria port.
For Chiyo, you might need to advance the main story first, or the events in Amagal.
