Two separated brothers, Marlon (conservatory) and Malte (boiler room), can be reunited as optional content. Carry each twin's marble to the other as proof he's alive and that twin follows you; lead both to the foyer and they escape together, granting a Brass Compass keepsake and unlocking a new top-priority "No One Left Behind" ending. Purely optional — no main win condition depends on it. The new EscortEngine drives following and the foyer reunion from flags alone, so save/load needs no format change (it reconciles follower placement on the first tick after loading). Adds Room.removeNpc, one tick call in the game loop, and a follower note appended by LookCommand. descriptionStates swap the twins' home-room prose once they leave.
