Plot Summary

At one point in the Zariman Ten Zero accident, Rell was attacked by a hunting of the adult crew and had to use his newfound Void abilities to protect himself. One of the adults who attempted to harm him was the now-maddened Kay, his mother. Rell stopped her with a Void Beam, possibly killing her, and simply stated that Kay was no longer his mother, that she was something else now - although what that was he hadn't figured out yet.

After Kay's attack, a Tenno girl attempted to bring Rell to one of the children's safe-points only for a larger boy to physically force him out again, deeming Rell's "weirdness" to be a risk to the rest of the group.

Rell decided the group would have too much noise anyway; he would need his focus as he "had something to do, someone to figure out."
