    Summary

    Granny Rags attempts revenge for Corvo’s interference in the sewers - it doesn't quite go as planned. Corvo likes the fact that his name means ‘crow,’ but that doesn’t mean he ever actually wanted to be one, and for once Daud is (arguably) not responsible for this mess.

    Summary

    (learning how to live when your death was the mechanic by which you could succeed.)

    Then the assassin says, "I don't know where to go from here."
    At first Corvo thinks one of the Whalers must have snuck into the room, that maybe this is a coded message, that that's why it makes so little sense—but no. It's just him, and the assassin on his knees.
    "I don't know how to change this," he adds. It sounds as drained as Corvo feels. "I've tried... everything I could think of. Nothing worked. This is how it always ends."

    Summary

    “Daud, my old friend. It’s been a long while, but you’ve got my interest again. Did you know there are only seven like you in the world, bearing my Mark? There was to be an eighth, but he breathed his last before I could grant him my boon, staring into the lifeless eyes of the only woman he ever loved.

    “I’m here to give you your last gifts, Daud. The first is a mystery. One that starts with a name: Delilah. The second is this: the Heart of a living thing, moulded by my hands.”

    Corvo Attano dies alongside his Empress. Now there is no one left to clean up the mess Daud left behind - except, perhaps, for Daud himself.

    Summary

    “Corvo, I can't do this anymore,” Piero says. “I know, I know, I was the one who gave the terms on our first meeting, but this... arrangement of ours. I can't keep up with you.”

    The workshop looks like it was recently vacated by a dragon. Piles of money glitter beneath tables and in corners. Loose coins can be found jammed into delicate machinery and sitting at the bottom of Piero's morning coffee. A mixed heap of Overseer masks and raw munitions walls off the table across from the entrance. A line of rolled-up paintings leans against the stairway.

    Corvo shrugs – not his problem – and goes on emptying his pockets onto Piero's floor.

    It takes most of an hour.
