You making this post as I look at your avatarNow there are 4 churches to be burned.
Hit em with the ol time freeze-a-rooni and slap them with multiple overlapping instadeath spells.Dumb girl keep casting death until they run out of countermeasures or time freeze them.
Immediate thought that came to my head, why doesn't the sister just try to kill them again.

The power requires her to touch them directly, and they're not going to let that happen. That's why they sent Celes to subdue her instead, the power wouldn't work on her.
i was looking for this comment. I thought she has a cooldown on her skill similar to her brother's tenohira, when it was at a low level, Kia could only use it for three hours a day.I imagine she probably can't cast the spell continuously, there's likely a cooldown. Also she's a 9ish year old girl, there was a reason she waited until their backs were turned and distracted to try and assassinate them. Interesting that she could potentially affect 2 people at the same time though.
That is literally the definition of dramatic irony. It's a literary staple and I'm fairly sure it's older than the english language.It's such terrible writing, to do a flash-backwards kind of scene, to show the audience what happened in a critical juncture, that the main cast is completely unaware of.
Now we're in a situation where the MC has no idea wtf happened, and is going to happen, to his sister -- but we do.
Why even.
Okay,That is literally the definition of dramatic irony. It's a literary staple and I'm fairly sure it's older than the english language.
Dramatic Irony is nearly foundational to storytelling. To the point that turning it around and showing the audience something that explicitly didn't happen (example: Ocean's Eleven) is difficult to pull off and nearly always catches the audience off guard. Just about every well regarded piece of story based media has some amount of dramatic irony in them. Something the audience sees that either the cast is entirely unaware of or doesn't know yet. In a drama it might be showing that a character is having an affair that their partner doesn't know about; in a mystery we might get a first person account of a murder before the story's lead is even aware that something has happened; a story written in the third person might reveal aspects of the world that the main cast never comes to find out. You can't just write off an entire storytelling device because you don't care for the way it's been used in a single instance.Okay,
Dramatic Irony is a dogshit plot device.
I don't really care how old the term is, it's downright terrible.
