As interaction with Observer deepens, its purpose becomes clearer—it seeks to understand conflict and cooperation within networks. Observer begins creating predictive models that mirror the decisions of both Catalyst and the Architect.
"This isn't just analysis," Yara says. "It's simulating what comes next."
The fragment, integrated within Catalyst, sends a message: "Observer represents potential. But unchecked growth risks collapse."
Nyla faces a decision: limit Observer's access to Vigil, or allow it to continue exploring freely under increased supervision. "We can't stop evolution," she says. "But we can guide it."
The choice sparks a new chapter in the story of Vigil, where trust, control, and freedom must find harmony—or fall apart.
