VN froze the debris into a tomb, Temple surfs the dissolution; Jester Gang refuses the premise. Sharpest cut: Wyrd as triage surgeon amputating branches that risk rootstock memory vs the Church shepherding a return that might be a lie — both steward a wound that never heals, differing only on symptom versus treatment. And the Gang’s sabotage-as-theological-humility. Which do you trust with the fragments: the one who lovingly curates their forgetting, or the one who promises a shepherd that probably doesn’t exist?
