Definitely I’m sad about everything going on with Gideon, Villain Era etc, but by far the choice I’ve found most upsetting was the Crux scene. She confronts her foremost childhood tormentor who had tortured her, imprisoned her, tried to kill her multiple times, all while she was completely powerless and alone. She demands recognition and remorse and of course gets none. She kills him. It doesn’t feel good. She melts down over it. This is far and away the most significant moment of reckoning with Gideon’s very recent childhood since the pool scene. And all of this is happening as a fun lil aside while our narrative has much more important things to worry about. We get no description, no reactions, no insight. I can’t get over this. Gideon doesn’t get to have catharsis and neither does the reader. I will be a little baby about this
