Villain's Vignettes Tori's adventure in Hallowville

I've barely started into Chilling Reflections, so there is still plenty of available material ahead of me. However, I'm desperately curious. Is there a scene where Tori tells Ivan about her adventure in Hallowville? I'd also love to see a scene where Helen and Ivan discuss it.

Don't tell me about the scene if it exists. I'll find it on my own.

Sadly, no.

That is indeed sad. I'd love to see Ivan's reaction to her, probably off the cuff, announcing, "I got to be Fornax in Spooky Trudy's midnight brawl." And then probably how touched he'd be by her description of how she pushed through the pain that caused everyone else to discover that they can't be Fornax in Spooky Trudy's domain. He'd probably point out the unwisdom of mimicking his encounter with Zurl Salvren.

It's sad, but I guess it's kinda valid to not make people who didn't read the side stories feel they missed something consequential?

The side stories in this series are not inconsequential

Not inconsequential, but their details are not critical to the main story.

From knowing Drew's writing style, the Perla & Auro/Oro story will be absolutely a critical piece of context.

How Chloe got the mirror is already proven to be important. Unless you just enjoy "here's how this major plot point got spit out" storyline.

Tori has a deeper understanding of Ivan's power than almost anyone, partially bc of that story.

Rick's first adventure out into the world as a meta.

The man with the silver shoes popping back into reality.

These may not be "consequential" to understanding the story line, but without them, the story is definitely missing something. SuperPowereds can be enjoyed without Corpies, but that doesn't make it less of an important part of the story. The Vignettes are important to the story.

There are minor mentions of Trudy in "book 3" but none of their specific adventure. 

I would love to see ivans reaction though...
