• Lynn demanded that the Fallen Angel release the plagues and promised to let her fall asleep, but she challenged him to explain why he had not removed her curses.

• Lynn recognized the expelled substance as the original corruption from Dark Night City, which would not affect him.
• Lynn hugged the Fallen Angel tightly and used Calamity's tentacles to seal them together as he continued forcing the corruption out.

Lynn forced the pathological growths out of the Fallen Angel and into his system space, then used Curse Removal and the colossus network’s power to reach for the Matriarch’s sleeping consciousness. He entered the depths of her soul while the Fallen Angel’s desire-driven mind still threatened to break free.

• Lynn held the Fallen Angel and opened his system space, forcing the pathological growths out of her body while suppressing her power and treating her with M and Curse Removal.

• Lynn used the colossus network and the Eye of Cthulhu to enter the Fallen Angel’s spirit world and swim toward its depths in search of the Matriarch.

• The Matriarch was condemned and burned in a vision of the Abyss, where she was unable to forget the sisters she had left behind.
• Lynn appeared, broke the stake and chains, and pulled the Matriarch away from the execution.
• Lynn fought off the phantoms with his psionic power and carried the Matriarch toward the sky, but the heavens kept receding because she remained bound by her guilt.
• Lynn told the Matriarch that she had done all she could for her sisters and that no one in the Abyss had the right to judge her.
• Lynn promised that the Demon Lord would stand by the Matriarch’s side as he fought toward the towering city.

• The Self-Binding Angel told Lynn to forget their encounter and continue treating her as his Matriarch, but he agreed with an expression that made her doubt him.
• Lynn solemnly promised that she would always be the best Matriarch in his heart and belong to him alone, so she punched him and told him not to say such thoughts aloud.

• Lynn lifted the Colossus Brain and asked when she had woken up, and she answered that it was when the Angel’s black feathers turned white.

Lynn reunited with the Colossus Brain and the Matriarch and prepared to take them home, while wondering where the missing Feather Pen was. The Matriarch’s curse was beginning to return, and Lynn still did not know how to find the Feather Pen in Hell.

• The Colossus Brain questioned Lynn about what had happened with the Matriarch, and Lynn kissed her to keep her from revealing anything.

• The Holy Angel told Lynn he had saved Dark Night City’s residents and asked whether he was a raven, but she dismissed his joking answers and hit him.
• Lynn explained that he had brought Sir Awen to the hive because memory loss and personality dissipation threatened to turn him into a mindless monster.
• The Holy Angel took out the chip Sir Awen had entrusted to her, which contained his memories and personality data, and said they would have to try using it to bring him back.
• Lynn sensed a response from the black mist, and the enormous inverted-pyramid hive appeared among the mountains.

Lynn reunited with the Holy Angel and Sir Awen, then tried to recruit the splintered Mechanical Church faction into Dark Night City's alliance. The Hive departed into the Black Mist after warning Lynn that the Flesh God Cult and Seven Gods would unite against him, but it left him a lead on the Dollhouse's possible hiding place.

• Lynn emerged from the Hive with the sleeping Sir Awen and explained to the Holy Angel that the Mechanical Church had split, while claiming the splinter faction could become an ally.
