What happened
The Praxus Silvers use empathy and emotional resonance as instruments of assimilation. The Doctor and Raven face the exploitation of grief while Calien and Milo help give the colony’s suffering individual faces. Breaking the cores interrupts the system that turns feeling into command.
Where the book leaves us
Survivors begin a voluntary recovery through stories and memory. This is not the extermination of every Silver, or an instant cure for the colony. The closing message from Argent affirms that the travellers are remembered. Its force comes from chosen acknowledgement after imposed connection.
