Sister Ines uses a squad flag on dying Paz without consent, proving a crawler can become a T'Ghee totem and preventing his chosen death.
Paz refuses further healing because Ogun made his health drain permanent. After prayer, he believes his soul forgiven and asks Carl and Ines to let him go peacefully.
When Shelved ends, Ines insists surrender is sinful and desperately tries to move him into Club Vanquisher. Paz says goodbye and repeats that she must let him leave.
Ines suddenly drives a capture flag into his neck. Paz disappears in the standard conversion effect and leaves a green common card in her hand.
The successful capture shocks even Ines. It reveals that qualifying crawlers can be stored as monster members and turns her abandonment fear into control over Paz's continued existence.
A green capture card forming where a dying man sat, still held by a stunned cat woman.
The capture is an unprecedented human-to-totem conversion and a profound violation of Paz's final choice.
