He tells himself it was the right thing, and he believes it, mostly. In her final moment David was struck at how afraid she was. She bolts, but the Reckoners were prepared, and she’s cornered. Thusly, when she’s doused in gallons of red Kool-Aid her electricity flickers and fades. Her grandparents tried to poison her when she was a child, using Kool-Aid to mask the flavor.

In Mitosis, David discovers that the title Epic’s weakness was related to his past.
