[Codex]

I'm late to the party, but in case someone drops by, I have a question ....

Spoiler for Bastien:

What exactly was going on in Bastien's mind in the events leading up to his death?

He deliberately hinted to Teito and Hakuren about his role in the murders of the criminals. From Frau's words, it seems like Bastien took this route in order to exonerate him, and that he chose saving Frau over completing his mission. But, did he know that Frau was one of the 7 Ghosts? That Frau (or someone) would show up in time to save Teito? Were the events that happened according to plan, or was it just "happy" circumstance that Frau showed up to save the day?
