Control's own narration does make clear that he's deeply infatuated with her, though he never explicitly uses romantic language to describe his feelings toward her.]]

Control's makes oblique comments in his own narration along those same lines. He does make clear that he's deeply infatuated with her, though he never explicitly uses romantic language to describe his feelings toward her.

* MadnessMantra: The endless string of words that the Crawler is scrawling on the walls of the tower, which sound like an eerie combination of the Bible and the Necronomicon, become this in the third book when it's revealed that [[spoiler: Saul can't get them out of his head after being infected by the flowering plant that eventually creates Area X. Saul's a former preacher, so the biblical nature of the language is not a coincidence.]]

* ObstructiveBureaucrat: In ''Authority'', Grace makes it known in no uncertain terms that she is still loyal to the old director and will go to every length to undermine anything Control, the newly appointed director, attempts to do and sabotage any change he attempts to make. When Control provides a list of suggested changes/reforms -- most of which are reasonable enough, albeit totally anodyne and not very consequential -- Grace flatly explains that she will use every tool at her disposal to delay those changes as long as she can. According to Grace, the Southern Reach might get the new cleaning supplies Control wants...by some time in the next fiscal quarter. Maybe.

Grace and Ghost Bird leave the tunnel and go past the remains of the Southern Reach. It's unknown whether there is a barrier around, or a doorway out of, Area X anymore; and if the terraforming has extended to the rest of the Earth; or if Control's death has made the Crawler realize that its mission was now pointless.]]
