Under the cover of night, the Civet stalked mouse and berry alike, also known as ⸢Civet⸣, was the final excerpt of the Divine Anticipation, before it 'died'.
Obsessed with the Pleroma Hypothesis, Anticipation began expending more and more processing energy on attempting to disprove, or find a solution to, the hypothesis. In the pursuit of this goal, she discovered the alternative to excerpts in candidates, and either altered her current excerpt or found a new individual to fulfill this role. Civet was kept alive and used as far more of an external processor, with the threads of Anticipation passing directly into her body, "like a marionette pullings its own strings."
When Tender Sky took Anticipation into her brain, Civet was finally killed, in favor of taking Tender as her excerpt. Her body fell into the blackness of the Vault of Anticipation.
