“Someone’s been fragmenting your continuous self,” Kael says, not looking up from his oscilloscope. “This isn’t a glitch, Tamara. This is surgery.”

The chapter ends with Tamara downloading a cracked decryption tool onto a forbidden analog drive. The final shot (described in the source text) is her hand hovering over the ENTER key, the screen reflecting her face split into two slightly different expressions.
