** The White Devil is expecting all the assassins on board the train to either be fighting each other over the case or to be hunting the other assassins. While he would presumably like Carver to be the last one standing to be the one to deliver the killing blow, he's probably not that bothered who ends walking off the train at the end as long as the targets he's gunning for all end up dead at some point. Really, the options are: if Carver stays on all the way to Kyoto he gets killed by the White Devil personally, in which case great; if he gets off before Kyoto, he still has to meet the White Death (who hired him) to deliver the case at some point, at which point the White Devil kills him, so great; or he gets killed by one of the other assassins so is dead anyway, so great.
** There's also a bit of MaybeMagicMaybeMundane going on; the Elder's speech to Ladybug is all about how it's possible that Ladybug is somehow BlessedWithSuck (or CursedWithAwesome) in a way that, for all the shit he goes through, winds up bringing things to a point where basically the White Death and his entire organisation are destroyed. Had he not been there, Carver might indeed have escaped death and the White Death's specific plan might have been undone -- but he'd have also likely still been alive to try again. It's also worth remembering that the whole joke at the end is that, despite the White Devil's convoluted plan, it gets completely derailed by a quirk of fate he couldn't have anticipated anyway (Carver getting a stomach bug), so it's highly likely that this is part of the point; anything could have gone wrong with it at any point, but for good or bad luck...
** Something else worth considering; getting off at the first stop was apparently never part of the original plan. It only becomes so since Ladybug loses his ticket and the conductor threatens to kick him off at the next stop, requiring him to rush things. Assuming Carver didn't lose his ticket, he would have been able to get the briefcase at his leisure, and since he is described as 'lazy' he very well could have decided to relax and take his time... meaning he would presumably wait until the end of the line, i.e Kyoto.

** Also, just simple UnusuallyUninterestingSight-related RuleOfFunny. The fact that these people keep getting into increasingly obvious and large-scale acts of violence and mayhem that no one else around them seems particularly fazed by is, after all, pretty funny.

** Perhaps her mother simply ''doesn't'' come into this? Her beef is with her neglectful ''father'', after all, and her mother is by this point dead and has been for a while, so there's no reason to go into it; for all we know she had no problem with her mother whatsoever. She doesn't have parental issues generally, she has DaddyIssues specifically.
** If she ''did'', then it can be easily explained by the fact that the Prince is clearly a psychotic narcissist, and so views ''anyone'' not giving her their undivided attention an insult.
