[Note – This chapter's title comes from a Chinese idiom which essentially means 'true intentions revealed in the end'; it comes from a famous historical story where an assassin attempted to assassinate the Qin Emperor by hiding a dagger within a scroll that the Qin Emperor wanted. The Qin Emperor accepted the scroll and and began to unfurl it, and at the the very bottom/end of the scroll, the dagger appeared; the assassin immediately grabbed the dagger and used it to make the assassination attempt. Thus, the saying 'at the scroll's end, the dagger appears' refers to true intentions being revealed]
