Summary
Snail keeps 621 to himself in AREC: tugs on their ligaments and synapses in a choice they assemble out of some combination of vengeance-sadism-entitlement, the precise ratio of which they don't care to measure. Not until Pater arrives to offer — force, really — a place within the Vespers, rubber stamped by Freud himself.
By the time they take the sum of Snail's secrecy they're already too deeply embroiled in the addictive feedback loop of Coral combat high and Freud's relentless pursuit to do anything about it. They realise too late that what Snail was hiding and what Pater was gambling on are the same thing: that they and Freud are the same kind of animal.
And it'll probably kill them, but it feels too good to stop.
