I want to imagine Alf, in the afterlife, gently watching this resolution and saying something along the lines of: "I am happy everyone got along and nobody is hurt"

Burk confirmed not to be the main character. Or maybe confirmed even more, depending on your perspective.
49473: Ahriman - Monday, January 12 2026 - 2:03 AM
This whole exchange only makes sense if Burk had advance information about Zadkiel.

I'd argue that Alf was also ended well and thoroughly.

Cool, another question without answers about Burk !

Alf died the way he lived. Smiling like a smug asshole.

I don’t know how but Burk continues to be the most mysterious protagonist we have. Truly what a weirdo.

I think I understand what big Z is saying. Ghouls have been shown to be able to observe not just what is in front of them but possibilities as well. Burk seems to defy this in some way that makes him interesting enough to keep both alive and to accept a favor from.
@Ahriman
Maybe the two spirits whispering in his ear put an idea in his head or maybe Burk has a few abilities we, and possibly he, doesn't even know about.

Burk used confusion!
That seems to be his signature move for when he can't just use "punch" or "kick".

I wonder if Blue's erasure power is complete enough to permakill a ghoul
49483: Mallory - Monday, January 12 2026 - 9:36 AM
So ghouls have some limited ability to see the future
And Burk has the ability to be unrestricted by some of the laws that restrict others…
Interesting that Big Z is untethered. I wonder if that means Z isn’t bound to the same laws other ghouls are.

Hhhuh... This is unexpected from several angles... Burk choosing pacifism instead of fighty fighty, the pacifist option actually working out, Zadkiel having some kind of metaphysical awareness of who/what Burk is -- though this seems to be an ability shared by most ghouls, and Zadkiel (a Black Star ghoul) having a recent record of letting high priority targets go... Who were the other two high priority targets he allowed to go on their way? And why did he let them go? The plot chickens.
