'''4x (Interlude; Purity)''' is the seventh chapter and first interlude of [[Shell]]. Kayden leaves her daughter in her stepsons Theo's hands. As [[Purity]] patrols the [[Docks]] and rejoins [[Empire Eighty-Eight]] under [[Kaiser]], her ex-husband and Theo's Dad.
==Plot==
Kayden prepares to head out in costume and offers to let Theo babysit Aster overnight to keep him from having to stay with Max. She flies to the Docks and patrols for ABB members, frustrated that her old informants haven't responded due to Max's influence.

Kayden returns downtown and heads to Max's company. They negotiate Theo's overnight stay, and Kayden asks Max to revive their old partnership to help her defeat the ABB and tries to justify not attacking white criminals. Kaiser does not believe her however.

In a counter proposal Kaiser offers her a position as second-in-command of the Empire and Medhall Corporation for a year and then leader after that. Purity considers the ramifications and then accepts, mentally asking Aster to forgive her.

==Major Events==
*Purity binds herself to Kaiser again.

==Trivia==
<!-- *Was there an apology for a mispost that spoiled people?   https://krixwell-liveblogs.tumblr.com/168934327309
to clarify the section numbering thing a bit-->
*Purity's interlude wasn't initially planned; it was included as an apology for a schedule slip.
*Purity is still a bad person even with this view into her psychology.<ref>[https://redd.it/8ykox9 Discussion on Reddit about Purity]</ref>
