character

Firas

Firas dies during the final lightning strike after surviving the earlier fall beside Louis.

Story so far

Firas reaches the end of the cage fight unconscious but alive near Louis. When Britney uses her coat to attract Imogen's strongest lightning pulse, the intervention saves the broader crawler force but kills Firas.

He had planned to serve as Louis's best man at the wedding to Juice Box and secretly asked Katia to make matching tuxedos. His death becomes the loss that most visibly breaks through Donut's battle numbness.
