Story so far
Mustang does not return to Agea after confronting Darrow in the Lykos deepmine with the truth of his Red identity. Her absence hangs over Darrow's Triumph like an axe—Fitchner frets, the Jackal and Cassius note she is 'missing,' and Darrow can only guess whether she will sign his death or reappear. When the coup falls, it is clear she was not its author: Cassius asks if Darrow was 'warned,' and the Jackal answers only 'angered—lover's spat.' She did not deliver Darrow to her father Nero au Augustus, now murdered, nor to the Sovereign.
Vanished with the holoCube truth and her impossible choice unmade, she survives the massacre that claims so many, her allegiance and heart still unresolved as the rebellion lies in ruins.
