Warning alarms blare as the shattered tank floods the gallery. Bryce understands that Lehabah is gone and the exposed nøkk is dead, while Micah is only delayed. Cradling Syrinx, Bryce refuses to flee; instead she embraces the synth’s cold power and heads for Jesiba’s office.

Hunt recognizes Lehabah’s instant death and the tidal blast’s brief reprieve. From afar, Ruhn, Fury, Flynn, and Sabine watch, stunned, as Bryce—driven by synth—sprints upstairs with singular purpose.

In the office, Bryce sets Syrinx down, pulls the Godslayer Rifle’s components from the wall, opens Jesiba’s safe, downs a potion, and retrieves a long golden bullet engraved “Memento Mori.” The synth grants telekinetic precision as she assembles the rifle on the run. Hunt recalls Randall Silago’s training that honed Bryce into a sharpshooter.

Bryce opens the front door as bait, then kneels at the shattered interior window, bracing the rifle. Lehabah’s sacrifice buys Bryce the crucial seconds to steady her aim. As Micah bursts from the stairwell toward the open door, Bryce fires and drives the Godslayer round through his head, killing the Archangel.
