DeLisle’s death ends the immediate confrontation but does not end the effort to bring the remaining danger to justice. Edward reports that DeLisle died by Edward’s gun while struggling; Dominic, showing no remorse for DeLisle, instead checks that Isobel is safe and calls for Rupert to be restrained and taken to jail.

Circumstances and Report

Edward explains that DeLisle began to struggle and shot himself with Edward’s gun. He gives this account with an apologetic glance toward Isobel, and judges that the prospect of the gallows had been too much for DeLisle. The account establishes the manner of DeLisle’s death while leaving its immediate cause framed as Edward’s assessment.

Dominic’s Response

Dominic says that, as long as Isobel is all right, all is well. His response makes her safety the priority and explicitly shows that he feels no remorse for DeLisle’s death. The brief exchange shifts attention from DeLisle’s fate to the people still present and the consequences of the confrontation.

Immediate Aftermath

Rupert remains unconscious at Dominic’s feet. Dominic orders that Rupert be restrained and taken to jail before he can do anything foolish to evade justice. DeLisle’s death therefore brings neither the confrontation nor the pursuit of accountability to a close: the immediate next step is to secure Rupert.
