The Zero Point Rite (2026) : 2x4

Ben, leader of Vane's Lagos division, finally gives Liam an answer. Despite his position, he admits Liam is right: the outlaw system weavers navigate is unsustainable, and neither side has properly addressed it. Crucially, Ben believes Liam is now too influential to ignore. If Liam keeps building support, Ben is willing to use his deep connections to arrange what Liam thought was impossible - direct talks with the very people who can change the law.For the first time, Liam can see a clear path to peace. Lilith notices that week that he smiles more than he ever has since they met. Back at the safehouse, a Mordred junior approaches Juno, sharing a personal account of weaver oppression that is completely genuine yet entirely manipulative. It was planned. Juno heard, and felt it. Lying awake staring at the ceiling, she sees her choice for the first time not as a burden, but a responsibility. She asks herself, "What if I do nothing and people suffer because of me?". The answer scares her.
