"Emily Karn. Oh, very clever - cauterising a stab wound by heating the blade of the weapon that caused it. Unfortunately, I doubt we'll have much longer to appreciate it." Emily approved of Greggory's plan, but not of Michael's. "I would consider that," she said to him, gesturing with her head towards the now-returning Junks "an argument."

Also, was the ironic music really necessary?

Apparently Jarod was really Nemo. Unsurprising, really, and with that Emily imagined she could get a good guess at what the reason for it was. In any case, it didn't matter much; either Nemo would or wouldn't explain, and in either case she'd do it in her own time.

Emily was about to take off headed in the same direction as Junks, but stopped herself. "Need a hand, then?" she said to Victoria. "I'm not inclined to leave one of the five people I can trust not to kill me in all of Hell. However, I'm also not inclined to die waiting for them."
