Arc

Diagnoses Katia's drugs from Bautista's excuses (ch. 28) and cures them, coldly (ch. 30); is given only Detroit, where she grew up, and the home of someone she knew (ch. 38). Her whole squad dies at the ninth token — possessed into fighting, frozen by Randall, melted by her own Amhuluk's poison — and she gets four player-killer skulls for it and never faces her family home (ch. 52). Two choices for phase three: Cuba, or Elle (ch. 52). She feeds slugs to demons (ch. 61, ch. 62), refuses Carl's key — 'People have bones for a reason' (ch. 63) — will not leave Tran under the rubble (ch. 70), and wraps them in her wings under a neon X: 'We gain things, and we lose them. That's what happens in war' (ch. 72).
