Skulduggery deduces that Sanguine must have been the thief and that he must be at the Midnight Hotel to capture a remnant.

I’ve been there, too. The people we become... It just doesn’t end well. It stops being fun. That’s when we know that we’ve crossed a line - when it stops being fun.

Please." — Valkyrie, Skulduggery Pleasant: Dead or Alive Valkyrie Cain
