=== Bachelor Day 12 === The Town feels different. As if there is no one to distract, persuade, or ultimately speak with Dankovsky today. Even before he reads his final letter from Aglaya he knows what is to be expected of him - that he must be present to speak with the Council, which will decide the fate of the Town. He bearily reads the other letters of both the Haruspex and the Changeling, both requesting that he consider their angle of the problem and that they may provide an adequate solution. What he does is consider, instead, who is well. If those on the list he was given so many days ago are still well. All of them - from each still living Kain, to the Olgimsky's heir, to the Stamatins, to even the Theatre's director - stand alive and well, secure with medicine and the vials of panacea that the Haruspex had created. He cannot be certain if his actions secured the livelihoods of the others that the Haruspex and the Changeling wished to preserve, be it the sinners the Changeling swears to redeem, or the children that the Haruspex entrusts the Town's future with. He speaks with his [[The Bound|bound]] allies - Maria tells him that the Polyhedron will become a cornerstone of their Utopia the way the Abattoir was for the 'old' Town. Dankovsky understands more than ever that he believes in this dream, and wishes Maria well. [[File:Bachelor ending.jpeg|thumb|(307x226px|Maria and her attendants, viewing the remains of the Town.]] It is far too early to attend the meeting in the Cathedral - neither Aglaya, or Alexander Block, or even the other attendees are prepared. Instead of wasting time, Dankovsky looks to the Polyhedron, and begins his ascension. He does not seek Khan or his Dogheads; he wanders farther in, lost in the mirrors and pages, until he wanders just far enough, and realizes he has then discovered the truth. There is a sandbox. There stand children around it, reaching down and playing with the figures and dolls they make dance among the buildings. They watch him carefully as he approaches their garden. It is then he understands they are the Powers That Be. They speak to him with a manner of childish affection, though he wonders if they can see him as he seems himself, or if puppetry can be seen if you are aware of it. Bachelor leaves the Polyhedron. He walks to the Cathedral. He does not feel his own legs guide him there. Inside, there stands each player of the field; the Inquisitor, the Commander, the [[Maria Kaina|Dark Mistress]], the Haruspex, and the Changeling. He speaks with the Inquisitor, who tells him that the matters of Utopia are incomparable to destroying the aberration. The Polyhedron must be destroyed. Bachelor is furious that he worked so closely with someone who couldn't possibly understand what the dream could be. He approaches the Commander and presents his argument: destroy the Town, and preserve the Polyhedron. He says to escort the healthy survivors into the Polyhedron - then, they will destroy the land that the Town once stood upon. A new Town, the Utopia, can be built across the river. The Polyhedron poisons the land, but it is a structure of incredible power, and it must survive. He presents the evidence - a vaccine, blueprints, the details of the tower - and leaves to make arrangements. And like children beating down the structures of their sandbox, the cannons fire upon the Town. It is obliterated - but the Tower still stands.
