> One thing that was really fun about Nona was it’s commitment to unreliable narration as seen through a child. Nona is perceptive and clues in on a lot more than others want her to know, yet there are hints of shit going on that Nona doesn’t really get. Like some of it becomes plot relevant so you do get answers but I’m talking about the stuff we don’t get to see again, like what all Camilla and Palamedes’ night missions entailed. If they are trying to save necromancers, did they? And where would they put the escapees? I still wonder why Pyrrha had the job she did and if that was also something important. The fact that Pyrrha was maybe fucking Cam and Pal off screen. Same with a lot of details about New Rho, why was the building Nona lived in so bad, why shouldn’t you leave the house without a jacket and mask, etc etc. New Rho itself is a bleak wasteland where you can’t buy a lot of food but who cares bc Nona doesn’t like most food anyways. I’m OBSESSED with the way we find out BOE is burning necromancers alive is through children who are attending public executions, debating if they helped kill someone the same way you might debate if someone actually did a cartwheel. These are all things Nona takes for granted, as long as her loved ones are safe, they don’t register as noteworthy, that’s just how things are, right? I have so many questions but Nona can answer none of them but she can tell me if Noodle was a good boy today
