  64.  
  65.  
  66. SOLVED MYSTERIES
  67. >What was the deal with that weird sword training flashback you had? (That was probably an actual stray memory from your missing years. The person in it may have been Jesse.)
  68.  
  69. >What is Ellery's patent for? (Apparently the E.Z.-M.A.N.S.E., some sort of Headspace-brand manse-installation device. Its actual design is weirdly obfuscated, though.)
  70.  
  71. >Who is Jesse? What relationship does he think he have with you? Why do he and Lucky claim you were a Courtier? (Jesse was a low-ranking Courtier and possibly-probably your ex-boyfriend. If you can't find an alternative explanation soon, you'll be forced to confront the fact that Lucky and him are probably right, and you *were* officially Harrier-Lancepesade Fawkins at some point.)
  72.  
  73. >What's the deal with that golden-eyed thing that keeps showing up in your dreams? (It was your mindset gone a little too feisty after it metaphorically[?] swallowed your heart.)
  74.  
  75. >Why did your dad (and his friend) have weird powers, anyhow? (Richard claimed they were snake cultists. You guess enough snake cultisting gives you snake powers?)
  76.  
  77. >What is the relationship between Horse Face and the Wind Court? What is Horse Face's entire deal? (Horse Face claimed to be a private investigator hired by the Wind Court for purposes unknown. He further claimed he's been trapped in a time loop for about fifty years, which is long enough to make him completely insufferable.)
  78.  
  79. >What is the deal with Monty's grimdark backstory? What exactly is the "Game"? (The "Game" was a sort of murder tournament thing traditionally hosted by Pillars 11-13. Monty claims to have been a former contestant who accidentally 'won' and got a spot as a spot as a shadow oligarch / meat puppet for generations of the minds of previous 'winners.' He currently feels an embarrassing level of remorse about all of the above.)
  80.  
  81. >What is the Wyrm? What does it have to do with you? What does it have to do with Richard? What makes you a "Wyrm-daughter"? (Richard claimed that the Wyrm is a big fuck-off snake that carries the whole world on its back, and is also literally God. He further claimed that he isn't working /directly/ for the Wyrm, but his interests are aligned with It. You're a Wyrm-daughter on account of your noble blood.)
  82.  
  83. >What's up with Nettie? (She was actually Pat, and she's mad at you for promising her a replacement snake then skipping out on her.)
  84.  
  85. >Who is Possibly-Madrigal? (She was actually Guppy, the Namway security guard, with a face re-applied and disguised against her will.)
  86.  
  87. >What is locitis? (A collection of physical and mental symptoms that are actually caused by the E.Z.-M.A.N.S.E. 1) trapping your real consciousness in mind prison to extract Law from it and 2) swapping in a duplicate consciousness of varying quality to replace you.)
  88.  
  89. >What is the MATTER with Ellery? (As a freelancer for Headspace, he contributed to the creation of the E.Z.-M.A.N.S.E., a device which inadvertently led to endemic "locitis" -- as part of a scheme to harvest Law en-masse and indefinitely. When Ellery discovered this, he was intensely guilty and wanted to expose the conspiracy-- but was stopped by Management, who blackmailed him via threatening Madrigal's safety. Ellery folded under the pressure, followed instructions to hastily set up his *own* duplicate, broke up with Madrigal, and went into hiding in his own manse.)
  90.  
  91. >What is the meaning of Jesse's spiral tattoo? (It seems to indicate that he was associated with a Wyrm cult - and thought you were, too.)
  92.  
  93. >Why was Henry going on like you knew the all the cult GS already? (Well, if Fake Charlotte wasn't fake after all, and was actually the actual you doing stuff several years ago, and the Wind Court has you wanted for heresy and desertion and so on... it'd appear that you *did* know all this cult GS stuff already. Then forgot it.)
  94.  
  95. >Okay, seriously, why is everybody talking about the apocalypse now? (You don't know about "now," but multiple sources have convincingly stated that the world could end in a couple months or less. Or that maybe it's already ended, technically, but the Wyrm's all set to finish the deal.)
  96.  
  97. >Who is the Gold-Masked Person? Why did they want your Crown? Where are they now? (The Gold-Masked Person is Jean Ramsey, Monty's "friend"/fellow Game player. She originally wanted the Crown to help Monty out, but snagged it opportunistically for herself when Correspondent #301 showed up. She seems to be somewhere to the West.)
