Raising Solace in Bloomington, MN

You can't shake hands with a clenched fist.
At the end of Hidden Solace, Athene made a promise:
"
I'm coming for you.
Anything that stands in my way will be neutralised. Destroyed. It will be probability-manipulated out of the equation. Out of
existence
. It will be absolutely
Sevened
. Please, my precious Opal, hold on just a bit longer. I am on my way."
The most powerful AI in the universe is coming for her friend.
