The Architecture of Patience

With her decision seemingly nowhere close, Mordred takes the first initiative for Juno's favour. He arranges for her to witness, from a safe distance, his team dismantling a trafficking network out of a warehouse in Tilbury. The operation is clean, precise, and with no civilian casualties. He says nothing afterward. Vane's response isn't a countermove. Instead, he simply spends an evening in the safehouse kitchen with Juno, talking not about weaving, her technique or even the choice she will need to make. It’s just talking, as if they were friends. It’s a refreshing experience for Juno. During the conversation, she asks him, carefully, if he ever regrets surviving Lab Leak. He thinks about it for a genuinely long time, then answers in only 3 words. We don't hear them, but we see Juno's face when speaks. Simultaneously, Elias and Iris meet in secret for the third time this month. They aren't talking about work.
