Aria is truly acting like a villainess now. Well, she'd be the villainess if it weren't for the fact that her enemies were worse than that, so this is more like being a shrewd tactician and politician. Even if she was a little on the nose with her act. Her family's stupid and one's a simp on top of that anyway.
Regardless...Emma, huh? I mean, it'll sting since she's Mielle's mother figure, but that was sorta their plan B to begin with, so it doesn't feel like a solid win just yet. I guess this is good payback for killing Aria's mother.
I don't know why, but I do feel like Aria is gonna honor her word, even though it makes much more sense to silence Veri before she talks. Needless to say, very interested to see where things will go.
