* Cristina's shoe contains dirt from one of the realities she has gone through in the past. How exactly Cristina traveled between realities is unknown, but she may have used various installations of [[The First World]], or through fractures in the realities similar to how [[Alek]] lead refugees towards [[The First World]]. What the dirt contained is unknown, it is unlikely to be [[GLORWOC]], as it would have spread and destroyed everything around it, so another possibility is another microorganism, such as [[Temporal Bacteria]], or a residue of some sort. Given the [[Regret Demon]]'s considerable abilities, it can be presumed that whatever was on the shoe is rare and hard to obtain, and provides a material advantage to the [[Regret Demon]], whatever its agendas may be.
How did Heath end up the way he is? Where is he, and more importantly, what is he?
* Heath apparently volunteered for the procedure that turned him into the ultimate network node within the networks of [[The First World]]. It wouldn't be too surprising if he was part of the infrastructure supporting [[Command]], as well as [[The First World]] shields, given his ability to readily connect with the systems. He is located in a reality somewhere near the [[Inner Shield]], possibly on a [[Branch World]]. His reality was visited by the children lead by [[Danny]], indicating it isn't one of the shielded (read-only) worlds previously discovered. One theory currently standing regarding Heath is that he may be related to the creation of the [[Inner Shield]] and [[Outer Shield]], which was built with the help of the [[Brownshirt]]s. He may even be a descended form of [[Brownshirt]] himself, which would explain why the [[Cordyceps Fungus]] infected [[Brownshirt]]s reacted as he adjusted the camera [[Cristina Thompson]] was using. Another possibility is that there may also be other 'Heath' level system administrators out there, performing similar functions.
* It really wouldn't be surprising if more of these existed, [[Ward Shaw (The Sword)]] provided a psychic link to allow one such titan to project its [[Regeneration Core]] into its deep future, and during the battle with [[The Mad God]] other titans may have resorted to similar techniques, or been shattered into fragments that came to rest in or connected to other realities. Other massive organic entities have been encountered, such as the [[Dreamer On High]], or the organic entity in the series 'It Watched Us Play'. One interesting aspect of the [[Regeneration Core]] was its ability to affect the minds of many individuals from a considerable distance, in which it leaked its bitterness, pain and anger into the population. The vast collective apathy experienced by [[The First World]] may have been due to the loss of the [[Regeneration Core]], or even through the influence of another, similar core elsewhere on or near [[The First World]].
* From 'Our Final Acts (Part 3)', the reason the citizens of [[The First World]] are so apathetic is due to their achievement of clinical immortality.

* This has also been answered in 'Our Final Acts (Part 3)'. [[Heath]] is the last of eighteen human volunteers, who along with eighteen [[Brownshirt]] volunteers became the underlying infrastructure that creates and maintains the shields protecting human space in the multiverse.
