Wax is tasked to track down and stop a Kandra named Paalm, or Bleeder who is trying to overthrow the government. People are angry about crappy working conditions, no food, etc... As her tracks her down, she is able to inflict a ton of damage and almost start a revolution. At the end Wax finds out that Paalm was actually his wife Lessie. Harmony had sent her to watch over Wax, and the two had fallen in love.
After being forced by Harmony to pretend to die to get Wax back in the city, she became angry. She wanted to bring Harmony's government down, but Wax stopped her. Once Wax had captured her, she killed herself rather than let herself be in Harmony's power again. Wax was angry at Harmony and started refusing to do anything to help him.
