Epilogue is the unnumbered, story-only, final episode of New Blood.
Story[]
After curing Vakhushti of Stigma, he starts behaving differently. He reveals that he has been using Stigma to counter diencephalic sclerosis (petrification of his brain) and it has been sustaining his life until then. Without Cardia, he succumbs to his disease and passes away, satisfied that he is at least able to repent in his last moments.
With Caduceus coordinating Stigma treatment and containment, the world is finally free of the disease's influence. The research team is still tying up loose ends by analyzing Vakhushti's data on Stigma to further their knowledge of pathology and pharmacology. Meanwhile, the old team takes a moment to appreciate that their daily life has returned without the threat of Stigma looming over them.
