Lucia's voices
Points, a bridge, a papa, a youth assistant nobody else can see — and, at the party, a ten-year-old Dutch girl named Jill who knew the prime minister, in Lucia Mar's head with other children: 'There are multiple people in there. Real people, mostly kids.' Something to do with the dog and a man named Alexandro, Florin says, and he believes the dog can still control her from afar in short bursts. 'You guys said there were no children crawlers allowed.' 'It's complicated, Carl.'

Progression
Florin thinks a bunch of kids are trapped in her head (ch. 72). Diah: Lucia is with Alexandro, who comes when the dogs are close; the rest are in the dark and the cold with a river through their room, and they take turns (ch. 72). Zev: 120,000 children in one wing of the kinder facility, and if she goes they all go (ch. 73). Jurgen's Heidi among them (ch. 78). 'Now the Eulogist has another ally in the dungeon' (ch. 72).
