This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

The blood is of course the traki's.  It is on Finch because Finch used the sword to kill him.  There are slashing wounds on the troll but no "piercing" stabs because the tip of the sword does not work, which matches with the description of his broken sword in the spirit world.

The spirit world is more objective than the actual material world, and it is reached by a meeting of the minds instead of ego.
