Vodus traded the chaos of Neo-Kowloon for the final, silent mercy of the Foundry’s furnace. He spent his final credits and severed his ties, seeking an exit from a city that offered only hollow rumors and endless, grinding labor. When the search for a phantom cyberdeck revealed the futility of his path, he chose to let the molten slag strip the chrome from his bones. He died as he lived in the end: by his own terms, leaving the city’s secrets to burn with him.
