absolutely crying over the fact Caduan didn’t actually die and he went back for Aefe!!!! And now she’s an entire living being again which is crazy. I was really hoping for a Nura redemption arc but clearly she is the main villain. Max got the absolute dogshit end of the stick so I’m interested see how this plays out. Felt kind of like an idiot not realizing sooner that Reshaye and Aefe are the same person. I didn’t realize Aefe’s timeline was taking place years prior so when it was revealed it was like everything clicked for me.
