All of the case 53s are eden shards. Also, all of the eden shards are dead- which to a shard means its disconnected feom the “network” aka the entities it came from, meaning it cant trade resources and information within that network, which is why all he case 53s are varying levels of fucked up- their shards were improvising when manipulating their biologies and the limits of their powers, which is why a lot of case 53s like narwhal can bypass the manton effect. Speaking of, the manton effect is not a matter of not being able to manipulate organic matter(amy is the prime example, she can *only* manipulate organic, *living*, matter) its a matter of targetting, an artificial limits imposed on shards so that their hosts dont kill each other too quickly. Its the reason why taylor only can manipulate bugs, and rachel can use her powers on dogs. Also, lisas shard is from abaddon, the fandom named third entity. Finally, i dont remember if you talked about it, but we see dinahs, inps and taylors shards in this chapter. Dinahs futuresight shard, imps perception filter(she is seen by he warrior with her dad after leviathan) and taylors manipulation(its the central nervous system of the entities, the one they use to break off and change them to their specifications, and controls a othr shards, and was crippled to a fraction of its powers avoid disruption in the cycle(lol)).

Around 2:15. SPOILERS for Fortuna's interlude: It IS Contessa's shard because that's how Eden got 'lost', and that was the core of the Thinker half of the pair. This power is what was used to plan where to place all of the powers in space and time to find their host so that they best mature to continue the cycle. You'll see it in Contessa's interlude I believe because it starts out from Eden's perspective. She accidentally gives up the power too early before plotting out the whole course.

100% this. That or have her in the hands of Bonesaw or Gray Boy, a clear choice for Taylor. #TaylorDidNothingWrong
