Oba’s command of roots and spirits gave her the battlefield she wanted. Kaya answered by appealing beyond the attacker to Ravnica itself. A Worldsoul reduced to one faction’s pain would cease to represent the crowded, contradictory plane that had created it.
Etrata, wounded and previously framed, supplied the second hand needed to close the Agency’s binding. The act reversed the structure of the murders: a person used as an instrument reclaimed agency and helped confine the one who had treated bodies as disposable evidence.
