Story so far
Burcu is dead. Her surviving party members Tuba and Selvi left the ninth floor to take the deal, and neither told Carl why — nor how Burcu had come to consider him the one who'd killed her father.
Carl feared he'd never know. It prompted his reflection that this is the problem with such chaos: you lose so much around the edges. Immediately afterward, he heard laughter that sounded like Eris from within The River.
Role
The dead crawler whose unresolved accusation against Carl becomes a permanent loose end.
