22 Bitter Traces

The Pack races to save Dante's Touchstone.
----
The pack regrouped on their way to Trace's condo building, which was surrounded by an unnatural cold and older-model Project Twilight vans.
Approaching the source of the cold, Macris sensed waves of guilt - and then faced soldiers growing spikes from their hands and bodies.
Troian took off on a high-speed chase which led back toward the Casino before the van rolled and released a similarly transformed individual, and signs of a massacre from within the van.
Meanwhile, Dante scaled the building to find Trace bound and surrounded. Careful timing and use of Gifts managed to save Trace from the bullet aimed at his head, and sent him off to find safety elsewhere.
The three regrouped and called in a favour from both caerns - the spiky soldiers were infested with psychomachiae. To-the-Moon, Apotheosis, and Skyoffered up a moment of guilt to help expel the Banes.
