Diana Hunter, Oliver Smith, and three others she cannot name. Three Fire Judges yet to account for. Three sources of information—and therefore, perhaps, of redress and restoration of the System to its pristine state. Three more targets for Lönnrot, assuming that revenge or something with a similar outline is what Lönnrot wants. Hunter wanted something more sophisticated, but Gnomon, in the story, was sent to kill four people, and in reality was intended to roll up Hunter’s narratives into one. Now? Lönnrot’s intentions must be considered notably unclear. If it is futile to debate the unwritten motivations of a fictional character, how much more so when that identity is enlivened in the mind of a woman whose cognition is itself artificial, and whose underlying self was created by the woman around whose death everything now revolves? Has the hound slipped the collar? And if so, what end now appeals? What did Hunter intend, and will Lönnrot pursue it? Nothing has a clean beginning. Everything starts with something else.
