The Valar announce that they've done as much as they can in Singularity (they can't bring back peoples' babies in that critical period either, but they can get them earlier versions) and are setting up portals between there and Sanity as soon as they are confident they've cleaned up the plague. A bunch of Elf architects have this wild idea for a fivedimensional city where alternating intersections are interdimensional portals between various Valinors and they get eagerly to setting it up.

"It's how we got Bella. I've been trying sporadically since, it seems potentially high-value even if it only works occasionally."

"That Timothy would fall hard for a boy Miranda would've been extremely predictable to anyone who knew -"
"True. Well. My theory predicts we'll get a girl Bell for Karen. So this is testable."
"I mean, giving Karen a present is not the only way the landlords could produce drama."
"A lesbian Bell who is happily married. A lesbian Bell who thinks Karen is way too young for her. A bisexual Bell who needs a husband for political reasons of some kind. So many possibilities."
