Tizquick

A Mango line conductor weeping on the floor of station 60 because his little girl was never real. He stays to guide crawlers from line to line, helps Elle find the blown 72, tells Fire Brandy what he learned, and rides the Nightmare into the abyss with her: 'I know how this works.'

Arc

'She was never real, was she?' Carl kneels: 'One day, this pain you're feeling right now will matter' (ch. 21). He stays at 60 to route crawlers between lines (ch. 28, ch. 29), brings the Nightmare down to the yard (ch. 33), and dies with Brandy by choice (ch. 34).
