Story so far
Eva comes up when Odette starts to ask about her riding the front of the train and almost doing something, and is cut off mid-sentence. Loita messages the team directly to say Odette's people are being informed to end the topic, and the host is muted until the moment passes.
Odette returns visibly furious, pivots to the fifth-floor preview, and later confronts Loita over the level of censorship, citing the Syndicate's rules on a journalist's right to ask and answer. Whatever happened with Eva on the front of the Nightmare Express is thereby classified as something Borant Corporation does not want crawlers hearing about, which for Carl makes it exactly the kind of thing worth knowing.
