So the 12 Ediths are going to confront Reese; the woman who didn’t bring them there and was forced there against her will, who originally tried to change fate but failed, and who had to suffer through a torture none of the rest of them had to suffer through until it broke her brain…
Meanwhile her family have all abandoned her and locked her up because of the words of one maid despite never doing to same to Edith even with equal or greater evidence…
These changes make no sense and Reese is now the biggest victim in the story.
Mmm. It's set up as this ultimate karmic resolution, the author stripped of her power and finally facing the music, but the situation has gone on for so long and is so complicated that it doesn't really work with a simple revenge. I can see it from Edith's perspective - imagine meeting god, and she's an unimaginative loser who hand-tailored your life for maximum misery on a whim? Of course you'd feel a little wrathful. But even though the author wrote the story, it's not like she wished for it to come true, and as we've seen, she doesn't have much more power than they do. She didn't set up this bizarre world and its bizarre rules, and she's been broken by it as much as anyone. Edith's hatred is understandable, but it's badly misplaced.
Maybe all the Ediths are just going to have a very stern and honest talk with the author so they can all reach some kind of resolution? I hope it's something like that. If they're all just going to condemn her, it's going to leave a sour taste in my mouth.
