 I'll get to the next part eventually.
+==== The End ====
+I have reached the end of the fluff and...I'll take a moment to explain something.
+I'm not sure whether it's intended or not, but the ‘Collector’ is unambiguously the nicest vampire in all the sets of stories we see. He is empathetic towards others – actually feeling bad for people like Kevin and the crybaby relative of his – he generously compensates them for helping him with his research, he seems to genuinely love and care for Ayesha (despite her own claims that he's bad, we never see anything of the sorts) and he's also actually interested in the culture and history of his clan.\\
+This is important context for what happens.
+The final story is focused around him. Specifically the Collector talking to his loyal ghoul about how he has to go into Torpor because he's aging. So the ghoul will be made his son and he's been tasked with taking care of the papers we've been reading.\\
+He goes into torpor and the ghoul falls asleep. That final story was written by him and he declares that he will take good care of the notes and live a thousand nights until he wakes up.
+Then Cat comes in and goes <q>“Nope, sorry asshole.”</q> and my rage is immeasurable.
+I was actually feeling bad for the Collector because, like I said, he genuinely came off as a nice person – unlike //all the other characters in the book// – only for another one of those characters to come in and take his collection away from him.
+After this we have mechanics to go thru, but I'm not sure whether I'll comment on that. I probably will, but only off-handedly. My focus here is on the lore anyhow.
+==== Conclusion ====
+The section is here for after I re-write the article filling in all information.
+===== Trivilinks =====
+  * [[https://www.flamesrising.com/daeva-clanbook-review/|Review]] by ‘Billzilla’. I haven't read it, though a skim-thru indicates that it's significantly more positive than I am (downright ignorant, I'd say...). I'll read it later, but I'm including it because why not?
