The plot is…I won’t lie, it’s still my favorite thing about the books. And besides, it’s hard to talk about what happens on the court without explaining what happens between the characters. But then again, I feel like other people might care about it. For instance, I could talk about the championship plot, since to me, it isn’t really the main appeal.

I had been warned that Severian is an unreliable narrator so that I was always on the lookout for inconsistencies.

Not to mention, I can see why a butler would be "concerned", and Pareidolia could easily be a code name, which based off Geoffrey's apparent life, it wouldn't be surprising if he's had code names before. Ayane loves him and Geoffrey seems to be one of the only people that cares about her, and pays attention to her.
