The Greek world's relationship with fate is theological — the Moirai, the prophecies, the sense that the pattern was set before the players arrived. Kassandra's relationship with fate is practical: she is still alive, which means whatever was supposed to happen to her has not happened yet. The calling of things fate is the retrospective narrative that turns survival into destiny. The calling of it survival is the honest version, the acknowledgment that the choices made in the moment were choices rather than fulfillment.

The Cult conspiracy thickens in this session, the higher-tier members coming into focus, the pattern of the organization becoming legible. The fate/survival distinction applies here too — the Cult believes it is enacting historical inevitability. Kassandra believes it is a group of people she can kill.
