It's confirmed.
Shade is dead. Not only dead. His body vanished from the jail. The guards mutter words like "mistake" and "accidental".
Or maybe he just vanished. His character deleted by the System. Like Judo and Memo. No one has seen them since they were kidnapped.
Shade is gone, and Minette is dealing with Rosabel and Rossa. My presence seems superfluous, and Kaline is sending out distress signals through the link. Lobo nudges me to go and check on Hans and Kaline.
[Minette won't give in about Hans, will she?]
Lobo woofs indignantly in response to my absurd question. [Of course not. She'll find excuses to delay such a reunion. Hans will never have to see that woman again.]
I'm relieved, but my mind can't focus on the win. [Shade is gone. System deleted him. Next, it will probably memory hole him.]
[I wouldn't be surprised.] Lobo nudges me. [Go. Go take care of our family.]
