Sophia looks at her daughter, gaze steady, full of certainty and regret.

"Yes, I suppose so. Until you are ready to truly accept your destiny, my child, we are done."

Immediately, Eleanor turns on her heel and leaves the office without another word or glance back.

You're not quite so quick to leave when dismissed, for all that your desire to break free from this stifling office is strong enough to give Eleanor's a run for its money. You back up to the door without turning around, each step a slow and careful exercise in feigned courtesy. (You know better than to turn your back on this woman.) A shallow bow, and then you're slipping out the door to follow Eleanor.

— She's the leader of a group called the Flock, which seems to be somehow familial in nature.
— She speaks of Eleanor as a creation, a tool.
— Her intentions are political and warlike, shrouded in the guise of benevolent salvation: destroy Ryan and Fontaine, control Euphoria.

— It's unclear whether he's dead or just indisposed somehow.

● ADAM is a source of power. Eleanor can imbibe it and Sophia intends to control it.
