Also, given that the email story for Gift played off some plotlines set up in Gift which then flowed into this novel, I'm guessing this books email story will be connected Hansel and Allen's relationship, since Allen (as Len) is likely going to be the protag of Tailor, in the same way Hanne/Elluka was for Gift. Possibly. The code for the last email story was "Pere Noel" and that's what it ended up covering. This time it's "Mask Of Seth" so it may end up being related to Seth in whatever way.

Easy: she then had an in to some funds, money, etc. That's a heck of a lot of convenience to show up with the doll already in-hand at just the moment the doc lost his wife and child. On top of that, there was no guarantee having the doll in the family would make things easier for her.

AB-CIR and Platonic had a work relationship; her wellbeing as a thief came first. How's Julia supposed to know how cooperative Margarita would be in helping her? She didn't even take interest in the doll until after Margarita married Kaspar, who had her Grimm the End vessel in his possession.

I don't see it as being that simple, personally.
