Lifeforce summons Brigand to his throne room, and angrily informs him that Languish has been kidnapped by his fellow Reckoners. Brigand begs and pleads, and Lifeforce regards him with distaste. Lifeforce tells Brigand that he needs his help, then leads Brigand to a room in his laboratory, called the Chrysalis Hollows. The room is filled with small chambers, with frosted glass walls. He gives Brigand a chamber, and ushers him inside. Lifeforce takes a syringe from a case and injects its contents into Brigand’s neck. Lifeforce begins counting the seconds inside his head. After about a minute, Brigand begins to grow panicked, and starts frantically scratching himself. He screams, saying that there is something inside of him, demanding that Lifeforce get it out. He collapses into madness, then dies moments later. Disappointed, Lifeforce jots down the results of the experiment and leaves Brigand’s corpse in the chamber.

;Summary
Back at their base, Jax takes a sample of Languish’s blood and begins making a motivator. Languish wakes up, staying calm and asking for a glass of water. Hershel tries using intimidation, but to little effect. Languish talks about his luxurious life, and asks why he’d want to help them destroy that life. At Jax’s urging, Languish recounts Lifeforce’s history. He and Lifeforce had been good friends before Calamity, and were also good friends with a girl named Veera. Veera and Lifeforce started dating, and Lifeforce eventually proposed. He couldn’t afford to buy her a diamond ring, so he got her a silver one instead. She was offended and broke up with him, shortly before he became an Epic. Languish says that Veera did not escape Lifeforce’s wrath in one piece. Languish tells them that Lifeforce has been experimenting with Epic DNA, trying to give himself the powers of other Epics.
