[coming after the Captain, tearing through realities looking for people to help -- but he doesn't know if the Captain knows about those efforts, and he isn't about to tip that hand.

[ Ugh. She snaps the book shut and takes Skulduggery's advice, going to leave. ]
You won't tell me, but I do wonder what you'll do if you find they're still around. I suppose it is extremely unlikely... [if they were, they'd have shown up by now. right?]

For whatever it's worth, I hope they are dead, whoever they are.

... It'd be a blessing to them, if they are.
