Mm.Still…Im inclined to believe that this discrepancy in the headeount is significant somehow。
Did an extra person just materialize out of thin air…?
Presumably,the manager wanted to know if the supposed “haunting”was dangerous,while also being fearful of word getting out in case it affected the theater’s business.
My area of research doesn’t touch on any of that,so it’s completely outside of my wheelhouse…
I just got goosebumps…
It’s pretty ominous,no matter how you look at it.
.No,wait a second…If we take the report and the note at face value,they completely contradict one another.
Hmm…The various ways we could interpret this key word lead in completely different directions.Let’s pause our analysis here for now.I think we need more information.
It’s fine.My fault for not storing it properly.Ican’t leave things lying around and expect them to get ignored when everyone’s scouring the place for clues.
I beg to differ.This sounds to me like the product of a researcher’s vivid imagination…Perhaps it’s because I’m still viewing this through the lens of a typical murder investigation,but still.I’m struggling to be persuaded by your theory.
sigh…Does it really sound that far-fetched?Alright,well,let’s treat that as speculation for now.I do agree with what you’ve said,so let’s go with your idea for now.
What about the note found in the investigation report?Any thoughts on how that fits in?
（亦作fit into）(of a person or thing) constitute part of a particular situation or larger structure（人或物）成为一分子; 构成一部分：
where do your sisters fit in?你的姐妹们在哪儿安家？
The killer may simply have planted it there as some sort of sick joke.I’ve seen my fair share of psychopathic killers.They love playing cryptic mind games.

He has more than his fair share of problems.

It’s true.I hear you used every trick in the book to get a hold of that ticket, too.

Everything short of throwing a temper tantrum and rolling around on the floor at the entrance.
Especially after the unprompted Lelek reveal.Once was already a miracle. twice would be unfathomable
Good grief…Are you blushing?Pull yourself together,man.Stop giggling like a teenage boy,it’s Revolting..
Even with me to protect her…If word gets out that she’s dating a human, both the fae and human factions will give her a hard time
If I’m not mistaken…the last significant civil war in Snezhnayan history was over 1 four hundred years ago,when Her Majesty the Tsaritsa had just taken the throne and was consolidating her reign
So when that note said “death is near,“it must have been referring to “death” as in the deceased.People who died a long time ago.
The Ley Lines have a powerful ability to attract and devour souls.Let’s say that the Ley Lines are like a “black hole,“constantly seeking to engulf souls, but the souls that don’t want to return are trying to avoid being sucked in…
(Huh…Why does this analogy sound so familiar?)
What happens when the “black hole”can’t achieve its goal?I’m only speculating here but,but…what if it ended up swallowing innocent souls by mistake?Or intentionally taking other souls to compensate?
It was clear the conflict between humans and fae had reached a boiling point. This time,the extremists were even coming after the Water Imps who had nothing to do with the war.
come after: to chase (someone) : to try to find or capture (someone you want to hurt or punish)追踪；追捕
They’re worried that the government might be coming after them.
But I got caught.They started shouting,calling me a…a traitor to humanity.
If I’d known I was a dead man walking,I wouldn’t have dragged you down with me,haha.If I’m the cause of all this death,then punish me however you see fit.
But Mr.Shram…
No,I refuse to be a burden.I know what I have to do.You said I’ve been wandering the theater for centuries,right?
I guess it’s high time I got a breath of fresh air…Out there,I mean.I’ll leave this place,and take all this “death”with me.Go out on my own terms.
my terms = my conditions / my rules / what I decide
In:
Go out on my own terms.
It means:
Leave in the way that I choose.
Make my own decision about how it happens.
There’s no need to see me off,my friends.I’ve enjoyed our time together over these past few days.Perhaps…we’ll meet again in the next life.
see sb off: to go to a station, an airport, etc. to say goodbye to sb who is starting a journey 为…送行；送别
It seems to me like the Tsaritsa chose to make herself the enemy She downplaywed the conflict,directing whatever animosity both sides had for each other at herself instead.
That’s also why,despite how brutal the conflict was at the time,there hasn’t been much lingering tension between humans and fae since.Things have been fairly harmonious for the past few centuries.
So,the Tsaritsa banished the fae…to protect the fae living in the city?She offered herself up to be hated in exchange for peace…
