Tattletale couldn’t help but feel regret, too. She had to admit the schism was at least partially her own fault. Not paying attention, not getting the right info.
I’ve been going back and forth a lot on what determines what info she gets. Ultimately, it does seem like she needs to at least semi-consciously pay attention to something to get information about it, but it might also have an element of luck.
Tattletale couldn’t help but feel she should have been watching out for this sort of thing, knowing that it would take so little to spook the most sensitive member of their group.
Perhaps.
She’d grown lax. It had been easy to, with the knowledge and comfort of the fact that Coil’s power gave them something of a safety net.
I guess this is why she thinks Taylor would do better – she might think Taylor is too cautious to fall into this sort of complacency.
But when she’d phoned, informed him, her fingers crossed, he’d told her that he was already focusing on other things.
Wait. Informed him about what? Taylor leaving them?
He could only make the call on one series of events with his power, after all, and in the wake of the Endbringer’s arrival, he had greater priorities. The opportunity had been lost.
…interesting. Sounds like Coil’s power is limited to doing one thing at a time – he can’t both make sure the Endbringer is defeated and make sure Taylor comes back to the Undersiders, unless the latter happens as a result of the former, but if he were to wait until after Leviathan was gone, he might be able to do something then.
Seems like a reasonable limitation, if that is indeed what is meant by “one series of events”.
