-->'' There are a few reasons Alexander Reiner stepped in to replace Marcus. The big one for me, however – and prepare to be astounded by irony here, guys – is this: Respect. Not for Marcus, necessarily, but rather for Red.\\
See, it's no secret that the vast majority of the crew parted from Red on acrimonious terms. A lot of us have strong feelings about Red's conduct over the years, myself included. However, there is no denying that without Red, we would not have worked with one another. We would not have made what we have together. I personally would not be on this site at all. And I respected Red for a long time, even as I disagreed with him on matters of storytelling and other things. I even dare say the opposite was once true as well, though it seems obvious how Red feels now.\\
[...]\\
Red, if you do read this, consider the incorporation of Alexander Reiner to be our last mark of respect towards you as the man who started Spectrum. Or don't. Think what you want, really, I don't care anymore, because as Fluffy says in a minute, either way I don't think we'd have had Marcus Renee in this story. I'd just rather think we're doing it to be kind than spiteful. Personally, I'm sick of spite.\\
To everyone else: I hope Alexander Reiner's story grips you as much as Marcus Renee's ever did.

** For much of the chapter, Lightning Dust has been plagued by awful visions, providing her with a condensed look at the nightmare-inducing events that have befallen Equus and Earth, culminating in a full-on head trip as she is surrounded by shadowy once-humans – then a powerful voice cries out "Enough!", striking away the creatures, and [[MadOracle Bon-Bon]] appears at Lightning's side.
