Status Updates From L'ultimo omicidio alla fine...

Hephaestus refers to Emory as a crum… like a simulacrum? And all villagers are on a schedule—they fall asleep exactly when they’re required to, regardless of where they are or what they’re doing. There’s more to them than human bodies and consciousness.

Ohhhh. So it seems the world was far more technologically advanced when the apocalypse started. Enough to elongate human life spans and make most people entirely dependent on technology. But that tech got mostly destroyed by the sinkholes and the bugs.

So Emory had a husband and birthed her child Clara, it seems.

So Abi controls when a person dies, and kills most of them in their sleep on their sixtieth birthday. How do they do this? And why?

What does Adil know about Niema? Does it have anything to do with the crime he committed that got him exiled?

So Abi isn’t just an overseer or a hive mind voice. They make rules, which I’m guessing the elders help to enforce.

HOW is Niema 173 when the average age of everyone else seems to be 60?

Three generations before this one

Magdalene was GIVEN Sherko three years ago. Is he the child of deceased parents? Or is this the way society has come to operate on this apocalyptic island?

How did this happen? How did the people of this island know to come here and protect themselves? It’s all feeling very Maze Runner—controlled testing environment.

Who made the emitters protecting the island? And when? Why? Did they know what was coming?

Who are these people marching in the darkness? Are they conscious of what they’re doing?

Who is Abi? How do they exist?

How is Niema so old?
