WARNING: Mild spoilers for the end. No specifics will be mentioned but there’s a lot of hints, because that’s where most of the problems lie. I would cover those with a spoiler plugin but I don’t have those yet. I’ll speak in very general terms and not name characters or locations, but just warning you now.
