For readers, the useful boundary is between what the sources establish and what the story may reveal later. The confirmed names, dates and events above support the present angle and give the discussion a reliable starting point. Motives or outcomes that have not appeared in official material remain open, even when a trailer strongly suggests a direction. Keeping that line visible makes the next development meaningful instead of turning a reasonable theory into a false certainty.
