Yes, Firefoot, you are correct. Let me ask did you get it quickly because of the repeated "won't see us" or was it something else?

The biggest part was the "No." in the middle of it - there aren't many places where a character answers his/herself with a simple No. Then I got the "won't see __, will it, __ ______?"
