So, the actual MC, to whom the description refers to, is dead? Right...
Quite frankly, the whole she getting distracted by their talking despite all that they did to her, and then getting killed like that only feels like author thought "oh, hey, this thing makes me money, but if I keep the current MC alive, this'll end soon. Ooh, I got a "genius" idea, she'll get distracted and killed and then we'll replace her with another one!", or, in simple terms, the author got greedy.
@golestar To me, it feels more like a crappy plot device the author came up with to extend the story that was about to come to an end.
