Collateral Souls

The group research Vane - finding little but enough. A short news article. A security camera photograph: Vane's face, younger, looking directly into the lens with an expression that reads as neither threatening nor human. Elias stares at it. Iris stares at it differently. Their argument about what Vane is - monster or victim - begins taking on an ideological weight that feels bigger than the question. Meanwhile, Arden reports to Mordred. He listens, asks two questions, and agrees to come personally. He has Arden arrange a day with Simon when the compound will be empty, inadvertently setting up one of the biggest conflicts in weaving history. We then go back to the 4 working, and see brief origin flashbacks. Maya's lasts longest. It's her 7th birthday. She's baking with her aunt and brother, when they hear a knock on the door. The last image is of her brother's face before she was taken by the US soldiers and her family killed. She only knows they're missing.
