I think the hardest thing/my favourite thing about daisy tonners death in the Magnus archives is that she is NOT herself anymore. There’s no moment of clarity, or humanity, or compassion. She has become a monster. She wants Basira to join her in that monster-hood. Like, a lot of times when there’s a death like that, writers will give the character a moment of pleading, or humanity. But like that’s the thing!! She is gone!! There is nothing left to feel that way!!
And then Jon’s moment of wishing she’d recognized him, because they were friends etc etc, but the thing is I don’t think daisy and Basira were ever “friends.” What daisy Felt for Basira, though soft in a sense, was tied to the violence of the hunt. To me that’s why she was able to recognize Basira, not because of any sentiment between them.
