Jesus fucking christ so much happened this chapter I'm losing my mind. Padparadscha is so brutal, I can't believe basically everyone just got shattered LIKE THAT. Bort and Cinnabar and even Phos and Pad when they all got in that scuffle.
Euclase, god, Euclase, the emotional manipulation isn't good but they're right, they need to talk, and there was a moment when Pho's mistakes dawned on them and then EVERYTHING SOMEHOW WENT EVEN WORSE. Cairngorm, why, what the frick are you doing? All the symbolism in the new outfit is 100% disconcerting and then they went down and just crushed Phos's face even though it was completely unnecessary.
And Achmea has way overplayed his hand; no one else could possibly get the labor division to work at night, and no one else could be responsible directly or indirectly for Cairn's behavior right now. Also, WHERE IS SENSEI? Why is the single most important person in this debacle not there when his kids are trying to kill each other. Maybe he's trying to take a step back but THIS IS NOT THE TIME.
