Progression

Heidi is inside with Katia and 120,000 children (ch. 15); Lexis says a confused third party guards it — a god, not Eileithyia (ch. 27, ch. 28). Azra, through Lucia: 'It’s so cold' (ch. 51); Samantha says Chachi is with them (ch. 52); Jurgen begs to be sent to its door and is refused (ch. 58). Lucia must live for the children to (ch. 83).
