A Dead Man’s Switch

Zev reveals that Lucia is a glitch the AI can no longer extract, a living dead man’s switch holding roughly 120,000 surface children hostage to the Eulogist, even as Harpocrates beats Yarilo to death with the ball. Carl reaches the top of the Nest and reunites with a hollow-eyed, hardened Donut, now level 74, before Rosetta arrives carrying Edgar to tattoo Donut a new spell to pair with her War Crime for the final phase.
