[ He has to read the message twice for it to make any sense. The most important thing: that it exonerates him, perhaps, when more evidence might point in Finch's direction than his own.

But one thing remains: ]

They'll still be looking for another Spade.

By my maths (which you so love), each team has at most two wolves: Danny and another on Diamonds (confirmed by the double rumour), Saber on Clubs, Shauna and the dark-haired man on Hearts, the light-haired Spade. With seven attacks in the first round, a wildcard remains — another Spade or another Club.

A Spade walked Lanfear to her death. Intimately. Tenderly. They killed her without leaving a trace. That could not be you or Dom.

It appears it may have been enough for one of my candidates to stick.

[ With OA coming forward at the eleventh hour, Tony’s revelation, Astarion’s goodness turning Embry’s eye elsewhere, Parisa’s performance — it seems more factors were in play than even Gale had imagined.

In any case, Astarion’s respectable sixth place finish eases his mind as much as anything can. ]

We’ll see what tomorrow brings.

[ Hopefully less bloodshed. Hopefully not a missive asking him who he will protect in the night. Hopefully the end of this. ]
