The Worst Reason

Tasha Tisch died in childbirth.
The baby was alive.
The city didn't notice, not even those who continued to listen to her political mixtape.
Except for Rain Smith.
Rain adopted him three years later.

His name was Link Ahush.

Rain Ahush and Isaac Esther Ahush married two years earlier, in a small wedding.

Black Water City was on fire exactly eight years after Link's fourteenth birthday.

Meanwhile, during the fire, a thirty-something Lily happened to be watching it all in pure glee. She has still sitting on the metaphorical throne crafted from her late father's money.

"What he gets for trying to take me away from my game."

Lily didn't like her enemies, but she surely despised how the "Turnip Power" initiative, which would have benefitted her significantly, fell apart.
