[Even though Kadoc rolls his eyes, visibly, at the comparison to a final boss versus midbosses . . . she's not exactly wrong. Mostly. (He'd call himself something like a tutorial mode boss, and Daybit could probably qualify as a last boss himself. But close enough.)]

I'm just telling you, as someone closer to the situation than any of they are. Not that I blame you for not trusting me in comparison to Da Vinci.

[Because . . . she'd definitely implied earlier that Da Vinci is still alive, right? She said Da Vinci and Holmes had been making plans from the beginning, but "the beginning" can't possibly have been as early as when Da Vinci had supposedly been killed.]

. . . Were you gonna tell me what happened to her?
