Was there a connection? Or was it just a coincidence?
The same question Su Gao had raised could also apply to my Mechanical Tyrant.
This trip had brought quite a few unexpected gains.

Not only could the "tide" not blow in, but there were even diligent guards.
And prisoners of sound mind.
If the prisoner in that cell really was a Night Watcher, the fact that they'd arranged all this was proof enough of how seriously they took the place.
