So many tma problems could have been avoided if Gertrude had just reenacted the cask of Amontillado and encased Elias in cement
Gertrude: Elias, I’m but a poor old woman who’s been so foolish… I’m ready to stop foiling your plans and become the Archivist now… Why don’t you follow me down into the tunnels and I’ll show you all these filing cabinets full of statements that I’ve properly organized…
Elias, 2% dumber than he is in canon and unaware of Jurgen Leitner sweating next to the tunnel entrance with his weird buried book & a bag of wet cement: properly organized? Well doesn’t that just razz my berries! Lead the way!
