Nest Tower

The Nest · the-nest

Recalled by Carl as the parapet Donut leaned over in one of the moments that cannot be taken back.

Story so far

Measuring The Inevitable Ruin against the people he loves, Carl thinks first of Donut, leaned over the parapet of the Nest tower.

The image belongs to his list of irrevocable moments, alongside Li Na marking her outworlders, Katia killing Astrid, and Carl himself in The Gas Station. Having assembled them, he insists that none of it makes anything hopeless — not until they are truly dead.

Appearance

A tower with a parapet high enough to lean over and look down from.

Role

Site of Donut's own irrevocable moment in Carl's memory.

Relationships

Donut — Leaned over its parapet in the moment Carl recalls.
Carl — Names it among the moments that cannot be taken back.
