That is all? You must be pretty unhappy, [Reader]. It is only fair. The story had a lot of plot holes, it didn't fire Chekhov's guns, a lot of still-living characters turned out to be simply useless, and even those who were supposed to play a significant role were mostly just plot tools... what can we say, the entire first part up to the 9th chapter was hardly readable. It was only when the truth was revealed that the book became even slightly readable. It pains me to say that Gerda's style can be blamed for this. However, all these untied plot knots... is this not natural? Yes, maybe the story that Gerda wrote has ended... However, all this was just one big prologue to what would happen next. So you have to go all the way to the end, [Reader], in order to understand why everything is the way it is. I am waiting for you in the Library of Babylon. Do not make me wait too long.
