"His face was painted Half-Black, Half-Red, and his jaw and tongue had been cut off. That proved he had indeed failed.

He was calculating exactly which step Clyde had failed at.

With Clyde's intelligence, it should not have been difficult for him to think of this. And this was practically the only obstacle in the process of gathering the female corpse.
