“Ya know that movie, where the Bad Guy captures the Good Guy and tells him all his plans and then hold him prisoner where he can escape and thwart the Bad Guy’s plans?”
Right, Castela won’t feel good about this, because she asked to know, and knowing she has to watch the whole thing while helpless to do anything about it will make her feel worse. Of course everyone told her she wouldn’t like it, but she had to learn the hard way like most of us do…
From the look in panel one, I just wonder if her intervention on the holodeck will be viewed as a possible intrusive distraction by Castella… Oh, deardeardear!
Of course not. She’s looking at the man coming up behind her. The one she stabbed in the head. There’s a time gap, because Leucoisa killed at least two other guys in there.
I want to know if the ensuing conversation with Foxglove placing the heads of those responsible on the senate floor, will make Pickle realize that she is the Blackthorn and, given her age, might send her into an unfortunate and destructive tantrum.
Sometime a hero in training needs to know that the outcomes are not always good.
So, yeah two in the head and she’s dead. Its the real world where the good guys a lot of the times die.
“Ya know that movie, where the Bad Guy captures the Good Guy and tells him all his plans and then hold him prisoner where he can escape and thwart the Bad Guy’s plans?”
“Yes, I have.”
“This ain’t that movie.”
BANG!!
“Do you think if there were any chance of stopping me I would have told you all of this? The plan went into effect twenty minutes ago.”
Bur Rohrschach still had to die.
“Life isn’t always fair. Sometimes the wrong people die.”
At least it was over quickly for her and hopefully painless.
Those others were right, knowing it was coming didn’t help…
But Castela didn’t know it was coming, at least the way Leucoisa died.
But she may now realize it’s a simulation
And how much, do we think, that knowing that will make her feel all puppies and rainbows about it?
No rainbows, but she now will see what shaped Atsali’s views on life.

That’s gonna leave some mental scarring.

Wanna bet the simulation doesn’t go that far?
It’s not pertenant to Castela’s question.
We might get that last, heartrending, “Mama?” from back in July, but that’s enough to explain Atsali’s abandonment trigger.
As I mentioned on an earlier post, Phix is being tight with the time chops.
OTOH, Castela’s _next_ question…
Can understand assassin douche going all ‘fritzy’ because Stela jumped through his hologram, but why can we see her legs through Leu? o_O
The entire display is fritzing, including Leu?
Because there is light reflecting off of her…
So far, so good. Castela hasn’t leveled the Library yet…
Seeing one’s Parent die in front of them is NEVER easy; even if it happened many years ago… :’-(
I’m a bit worried about how Atsali will handle knowing something so personal was pried into behind her back like this. :\
Castela is her sister, really and truly. And little sisters can (and do) pry…
Plus it was done out of love, not to be a brat.
Castela wasn’t doing it for her sister. That’s just what she told herself she was doing.
