Spoilers through Chapter 24. The eye of the storm. But it is easy to forget, the eye is only safe until the storm moves on. It’s easy to consider oneself sheltered amid the chaos, but one must never forget the storm. It may stay for a time, but it always moves on.

 

Spoilers through Chapter 25. The others see a contradiction. The ones painted blue know there is none. Precise steps taken according to tradition are a dance or a ritual or the corporate ladder. The methods do not change, only the goals, and even they coexist in stacks of green.

 

Spoilers through chapter 26. I’ve got a good one for you today. Ssssssssstop me if you’ve heard this one before. There you are, minding your own business, and two assholes walk into your bar. “We’re nothing alike,” they say, at exactly the same time. “Our cause is noble, our methods just.” But you have heard that one, haven’t you? I can sssssseeeee it in your eyes, Chuck.

I can’t see it all, yet, but I want to. Your story’s worth the big screen.

Your father, so sure he knows best. That scientist, smug and superior. Bet it felt so good to shut up that sanctimonious prick.

You’ll tell me alllllll about it, won’t you, Chuck? Pretty please.

 

Spoilers through Chapter 33. What is a king without a crown? What is a captain without his ship? Does an organization exist if many are dead and they plan to never meet again? The answer to the riddle is exiled or dead, but the individual determines their fate.

 

Spoilers through Chapter 36. Let the hate flow through you. Though, wait, that’s a reference you wouldn’t get, would you? Poor bastard. Awwww, but you’re so sssssserious, Chuck! Relax. Live a little. Enjoy the kill. You know you want to.

Spoilers through Chapter 38. The long, slow decline. The end of an empire. They were mighty, once, but now they consider discarding even their cross. It’s been nothing but trouble, but without tradition, they do not know who they are. They have reforged themselves anew, before, but it has been so long they have forgotten how.

 

Spoilers through Chapter 42. The eagle eats the breadcrumbs. Two little children lost in the woods arrive at the witch’s maw, in the shadow of a bogeyman. These are not cause and effect. In the shadows of the park, the name is still whispered on the wind.
