** [[spoiler:Taken further on the very last page of the series, a letter from Gloria to him telling him how much he meant to her. For someone who started out seeming almost as spooky as Area X itself, she becomes perhaps the tragic core of the entire trilogy.]]

** The closing pages of part 3 of ''Authority'' have Control absently reach for a handle to a door, only to find that it's not there and is just a wall instead. He touches the wall [[spoiler:to feel it ''breathing'']]. Part 4 manages to get worse, with [[spoiler:the psychologist, or maybe just a replica, returning to the Southern Reach... and taking the border of Area X with her. Control is so terrified and so badly shaken that he can barely think as he flees the Reach.]]
