Lilith

Lilith grew up in a weaving family in Birmingham that kept their abilities hidden for three generations - until her father was sectioned under mental health legislation after a low-level awakening in a supermarket was witnessed by staff. Thankfully, her technique is not as destructive - it allows her to boost others techniques in different ways. She came to London at nineteen, first out of necessity, then conviction. The episode follows one specific day: her and Liam moving through the city, maintaining the EBand supply chain, a quiet argument about operational risk that is actually an argument about fear. That evening on the roof she tells him something about her father she has never told anyone. He listens without offering anything back, which is exactly what she needed. By the end we know precisely who Lilith is - not a symbol, not a function, but the only person in the world who knows Liam completely and stays anyway.
