I asked you to trust me. And I couldnโt let anyone but Astarion know the full truth, if I wanted it to work. I already spent hours tidying up my loose ends.
Iโm sorry to have frightened you. Let me be clear I have planted no evidence, only withheld truths to buy us time. The Yellowjackets will present Finch as the light-haired Spade, and I believe it to be him in true, not Astarion. I do not know that he killed Lanfear, but he could have. As he could have Greer.
In this, the final round, any who are caged and guilty are in more danger than the crowd. The Alpha has beheaded the caught wolves before all. And so I will do everything in my power to keep Astarion and Dom from that, however slim the risk of their guilt.
You can, Shadowheart. You must. We aim for the true wolves. For the Alpha. And we protect those we love.
I share the role of the Doctor with Ani and Klaus. Melissa, who has no reason to hold love for me, can confirm it, when I guarded her between the first and second rounds. I believed the Yellowjackets would be targeted. Her, most of all, for her role, though it was Natalie who fell, in the end.
And it was her birthday.
[ a girl so young neednโt fear the end, on such an occasion. ]
I can remove myself from contention if I call upon her, but I cannot until three pull well ahead of Astarion. Until the council passes with Dom unnamed. If Iโm caged, I will not be targeted by the Alpha.

I don't want either of you to go. I don't.
You're my dearest friends in the world. If I had my magic I could bring you back but I
can't. I can't do anything.
