"June cannot be trusted. (After what she made? It's all the more difficult to make the lights go out, now.)"

June is a member of the Calendar Council and the original architect of the Dawn Machine.[1] It is unknown which factions she collaborated with when making the Machine, and it is unknown if she is a member of the New Sequence or has any other involvement with the Machine aside from its creation.

Those who support the Liberation of Night consider June untrustworthy, as her creation naturally impedes their goal.[2] Despite this, the ceiling of the Summer Room in the Agendums of Ascent (a library run by the Council) is a complex schematic of the Dawn Machine only visible when the lights in the room are extinguished.[3][4] June also authored a book in the Agendums described as a "collection of ideas for frivolous amusements." The book seems unserious, but based on its writings it appears June prefers to have a strict itinerary for every occasion, lest she fall into "dangerous introspection." The book's activities are also indexed by season, mirroing how the Agendums' rooms correspond to seasons, but the implications of this are unknown.[5]
