## Description

On a subway journey home from an N109 trip, a Tezcatlipoca Wanderer attacks. This is the same species that the masked hunter Lumiere killed in 2034 — meaning MC starts to put together the obvious implication. Xavier deflects with a joke: Lumiere would be in his forties by now, probably retired. He's talking about himself. The scene is the heaviest foreshadowing of his Lumiere identity before Myth 2's unmasking. He also formally confirms to MC that the red Protocore they have been investigating is an Aether Core and grants her 24-hour synchronisation access to his full hunter dataset.
