the principal confirms to murrit that in official corporate archives, dismas will be written off as dead because he was "taken" during the skulltitan attack to avoid complications. the main 12's trollodex cards are gaming abstractions that are meant to mimic real corporate trollodex cards, so it took that information into account.

i'm kinda shocked this is confusing! not even in like a condescending "HMPH YOU DONT UNDERSTAND THIS STORY AS WELL AS I, THE MAGNANIMOUS AUTHOR, DOES" way! it's just a little silly that people get tripped up over something that's been confirmed three times over between VE and SBB lmao.
