"So the title [Soteriology of the Coherent] is asking: what does it mean to be saved, if you're an organization built on a lie that also happened to be the only thing keeping you alive? What does salvation look like for a system rather than a person? What does it cost to become coherent — truly coherent, in phase with the truth rather than with the official story?
The answer the story gives is: it costs everything, and it's still worth it. The island is destroyed. A third of Cohere's population is dead. The wards are gone. Lily is gone. Hazel may or may not be gone. And yet — sunlight covers the land for the first time. The sky is clear and blue and beautiful. They make plans to search for the others."
