The frightened last male mantis accepts Bomo's route to Carl and arrives moments before Vrah can reach him.
Bomo returns from Zockau looking exhausted and holds the guildhall connection open. The male representative stands outside in the generated space, hunched, shivering, and far smaller than Vrah or Circe.
He tells Carl they must speak quickly because infected Vrah is already coming for him, confirming Carl's prediction that the disease has made the trader her immediate target.
A small hunched male mantis trembling uncertainly at the guildhall threshold.
The trader's arrival begins the attempted extraction of Dark Hive gear and denial of Vrah's cure.
