[It's been four days since the Carnival. Four days. Not five. Four. So here's a casual question, Wonderland.... ]

I'm going to make this quick.

How sure are we on the goddam intel that each death means a full day to come back?

[Yeah, that's pretty much it. He said quick, right?]

What an adorable, simple world you must live in.

I don't fucking spreadsheet. Who was it? B-Because there's only like fucking two people wh-who were up to four. And what, you're--you're saying someone died a fifth time, but came back, what, late? Early?

Yeah, it's fucking adorable. [Getting almost murdered in prison helping out an arch criminal, betrayed by your former CO? Bucket of fucking laughs.]

Evelyn. Came back early. [He's not a fan, at all, dude, but fuck, the asshole might actually know something. Maybe. At this point, he'll take anything for a clue. ]

[Evelyn. Fuck. God damn it. Why'd it have to be her? Of all the people to be forced into the Queen's service. She doesn't deserve that bullshit.]

[But she's back early. The same damn woman who came up with the idea to monitor people close to the fifth death.]

That doesn't make any fucking sense. It's a day f-for each death, that's the rules.

[It's not like there's a surplus of 5X Deathers to study to see if there's something fancy about the fifth one, aside from mental enslavement. So, given Occam's Razor...]

Then she was wrong. Th-That was her fourth death, not her fifth. She miscounted.

Why do we think this fucking place actually follows rules? [Serious question, even though he still thinks you're mostly a jerk.

That rates a squinty head tilt.]

It's Evelyn. I think she can count to five.

Because even bullshit and magic f-follow certain rules. It's called internal consistency, fucker.

[Massive eyeroll.]

Then it was a fake death. Wonderland does fakeass deaths all the time. Deaths that don't count, because of fucking course, i-it's not like we all already don't have a fucked up conception of death here.
