While the majority celebrates the "Wellness" laws that keep them soft, Silas follows the "Gilled Truth": a philosophy of biological autonomy in a world that wants to "protect" him into a grave.As a master technician, Silas sees the Spire for what it really is: a surreal, high-humidity hallucination designed to keep the "Ancestrals" from biting.
