@Khraxter No she's really dead, and i think it's a good thing, because her dead traumatized Seth, and has made him mature, it will be clearly show in the next chapter, where Seth will hit an annoyed guy who want to challange him to show that is he stronger than Seth, like a cliche shonen rival
And other thing, i don't see people talking about the things that Santori said to Seth, the fact that he is really known by the Inquisition but he never left the Pompos Hills
