Okay. I'm only an hour into the episode, and I have to go to bed because work tomorrow, so I'll have to work on this over the next couple of days. But. Cr4e31. The last act of Kother'ai. Leaving aside the utter beauty of everything that's happening here in general.
Brennan: She looks up, and you see the 12ft tall celestial version of her rushes up, and Hal, in the middle of one of Lash’s moments where he’s being stabbed and eviscerated, right towards the end of the play, you see that Vokjan is pulled out of him, and his wife hurls him through the paint, and the same miracle happens. You see this small family of translucent spirits that get to reincarnate and walk the Path and live again.
How much do I love that Vokjan Murzat, the spirit of Vokjan Murzat, in this moment somewhat trapped and confused by the echo of his last and fatal fight, the moment of his death, re-enacted through the play, gets full on yeeted into the afterlife by his wife.
Thaisha helps her, Azhmi, she shows her what to do and how to go, and Azhmi, celestial Azhmi, flies back and grabs her husband and full on hurls him through the paint and to salvation.
I love that Azhmi gets to save her husband. She gets to become a 12ft tall celestial, and fly to him in the memory of his agony, and just fly him free of it. Just grab him and hurl him free.
It's so beautiful. And it's also, just a tiny bit, absolutely hilarious.
God, this play, everything about this play, has been beautiful.
