@Bluubuckets Killing her would be confirming all of Jack Raven's suspicions about Kufa. How does one of your best assassins end up dead on a check-up? There's no explaining that away, he's clearly hiding something. What he did here was his best play.
@dotawolfbrother I can sympathize with that. The flashback could have definitely happened earlier with all the others, and it would be better if it didn't finally come to her in the moment. It could be tweaked better. I'll still take it over a straight-up deus ex machina. Madia lost her...
@dotawolfbrother I mean, it's not a power-up, it's just a full party recovery. (Elise went through years of grueling training, and I am assuming she long learned this ability but was never in a team situation that warranted showing it off)
Shame this got cut sort, has a lot more legs than most. Probably just needed to play up the rich girl aspect to make her a little more disconnected and her life a bit more fantastical.
After arcs covering rape and suicide, this one seems incredibly low stakes. Yeah, it sucks to lose confidence in a close friend, but it looks incredibly petty in comparison.
I want to give him credit for trying to patch things up after all he has put her through, but jumping to intimacy when your relationship was essentially friends in a political arrangement just makes him look worse.
