Wish we did, though, for all ZYL's snarking about SW being late. It's not like they arranged the time in advance ;)

My feeling is that ZYL is complaining that the all-powerful Envoy keeps showing up after people have been hurt or when the SID has had to work hard to contain the danger, rather than the Envoy arriving in time to control the situation from the outset himself and prevent harm (which is presumably in his job description). It's "late" as in, "if you'd arrived ten minutes earlier, Lin Yusen might still be alive" (for example).

I don't think we know if the SID knows how the Envoy is alerted to situations that need his attention.

Or is it only purely destructive power?

Maybe just the balls of furious explosive rage? Otherwise Shen Wei would have known about Wang Yike when she murdered the rapists, right?

/speculation and extrapolation :-)
