this is absolutely fascinating. stronghart is 100% the present day reaper ordering assassinations, but he's doing it all as a coverup for someone
else's
crimes.
but what the heck is he doing confessing himself as the reaper here?! surely this can't be the end
edit: sholmes still has a role to play, and the confession is unfound, and there's a gunman to unmask. so this should continue despite the confession (?!)
yet all azuarc of all sorts are more or less capricious and unreliable - they live in the varying outer weather, and they inhale its fickleness
