- Arc completion: 100% — Transitioned from outsider to Eternal Guardian
- Status: **PERMANENT**
**Aunt Maribelle Duval** [DECEASED — Ch-19]
- Integrated: Biological filtration organ within Siphon Hub root lattice
- Legacy: Foundational stability anchor for permanent Bend isolation
**Remy LeBlanc** [DECEASED — Ch-19]
- Integrated: Memory-strand suspension in Interior Grove cypress

## WORLD STATE
### The Hum Collective
- **Status:** Unified sentience achieved; all individual coven wills absorbed into singular protective biological consciousness
- **Posture:** DEFENSIVE — Final human intrusion repelled; borders sealed
