Fear, anxiety, loneliness, darkness, and maybe hope

How does Togusa manage to track the getaway car?

It emerged spontaneously from unused net infrastructure.

It was a military AI sold off after budget cuts.

Where does Kusanagi wake up afterward, and in what?

That the city is the only world she knows
