The death of Geyrun
Emberus's quest to find who killed his son: Hellik denies it, Vinata worships Khepri to get into his temple, the memorial crystal shows itself, and Samantha says out loud that she may have had a hand in it — because the doggie would go to the Nothing, and she does not know who the guy in the hoodie was. Sixty-six minutes.
