he/they MY BABYYYY ok so marlow is finch’s childhood friend, who is heavily religious in the ash covenant. since marlow’s parents died in a bus crash, he escaped from the pain with religion, no matter how corrupt it is finch‘s and marlows intertwined lore: Ok so in simple terms Finch lives in Verdantia, a controlled society that rebuilt after b0mbs dropped. The religion, The Ash Covenant, says the b0mbs were dropped because the government wanted control. Finch finds secret tapes which records the final minutes before they dropped the nukes, and it shows the government officials dropping the nukes because if they wait any longer, ai will take control (thats why verdantia is so heavily controlled, it is out of fear). The tapes also show a secret society where freedom still exists, under the central city, Crowline. He finds the underground society in Crowline and ask happy to see society still exists, and eventually learns the truth Finch introduces Marlow to the underground society, but Marlow, being heavily religious, cannot handle the truth of the fall and still thinks the balance is real. In order to ‘save’ the ash covenant, incase the info went out, Marlow sets up a huge b0mb in the center of the town Finch fortunately arrives on time and has the choice to save Marlow or the city (keep in mind they are so close basically like brothers, in the actual story they have a lot of better experiences together and everything) but Finch decides to k!ll Marlow in order to save the truth.
