- Wanderer activity is tied to a "Deepspace Tunnel anomaly" or "protocore malfunction"
IMO it's because protocores can fuck up with metaflux, which in turn will attract wonderers. And that's a nonsensical sentence I wouldn't have been able to type a few months ago.

- so its a CONSCIOUS choice on the part of the Wanderer? not something that just happens?
Exactly! You'll learn more in the WU dedicated to protofields specifically.

- is the Library leaking stories?!
That would be so cool, tbh. And the entire concept of the Library is very convenient to infold because they've bought themselves an infinite number of stories they can tell. If this main timeline ever reaches a point where the writers go "we don't know where the fuck to go from here" they can just nuke the whole thing and move everyone and everything in another timeline/universe.

Also, the direct reference to GoA is in the story about that world where everyone is associated to a number and a perfect child is born in there. It's the world where MC finds Zayne at the end!

- Thomas has a whole family and I'm so happy for him <3 The wife going undercover online to hype him up <3
Also so mundane and wholesome seeing Raf and MC moving as a unit, bringing a bday gift to Thomas and then walking off to god knows where.
