Story so far
When every rule-based escape has been closed, Carl says to the group, "Let's talk to the elf again. See if he has any ideas or demands." The elf is Epitome Tagg, last of his faction and now bodiless inside Louis.
The conversation that follows produces no ideas Carl can use, only demands he cannot meet — and the accidental revelation that Tagg's picture of the world is badly out of date.
