Paulie
'People call me Paulie, but my real name is Goff': a Residual in the body of a smoker robbed by his brother-in-law, reciting every morning at a Homestead shelter's Christmas breakfast, red trapper hat on, for a crawler who might one day stand in the memory. 'Biologically, I am gondii, though that is not who I truly am… Let me tell you how to shut off the—' Orren says he never made it into the dungeon.

The prologue: the speech everyone at the shelter has heard, then the world frozen and the real one, from Goff, the Residual who wears him — the crawl is unnecessary, the fuse, the AI in pain — and the Paulie part's own plea to be absolutely certain (B7 ch. 0). Orren says he never made it into the dungeon; the parts are disposable (B7 ch. 20). Carl thinks of him frozen in time when a changeling's roots hold him spinning (B7 ch. 68).
