amelia knows who and what she is

grace doesn’t know what’s right or wrong

and simon... well.

he wants her kind dead.

leaving them was the best choice she could have made

i will say this, i suppose

Simon could have avoided his fate. he was clearly past the point of redemption, but if he hadn’t been so stubborn and selfish he could have listened and learned to empathize like Grace did, but he chose not to

he honestly did all of this to himself. it was ingrained in his mind that he had to feel the way he felt and do the things he did. he thought those were what was right. his personality was already trained to be manipulative and overpowering. his interest in creating his own world to control was not exclusive to his hobbies in figure making and novel writing. it also reflected in his behavior towards the entities on the train and the actual people he knew

i can’t say he deserved to die. he needed serious help more than anything, but he was never in a position to get it. if he were to be redeemed, it would have taken a long, long time. and it would have happened a long time ago. by the time Grace reached the Apex base car, he was too far gone to be redeemed. either he would have continued to reign over the train, or he would have been killed off anyway

Liana had Romeo Lothario, her 5th son. But, couldn’t help wondering if having a baby and two toddlers would deter Don from wanting to be a family again.

She knew that there was no excuse for his past indiscretions but eternity was a long time and she was honestly willing to overlook one incident at the beginning of what would be “forever”.

But, even though she loved having kids and felt like the more the merrier, she wondered if Don still feels the same. Especially now that they have been divorced for a few weeks.

✨ meanwhile in San Myshuno ✨

Since Francisco and Nylah had decided to move to San Myshuno for a change of pace after the Lotharios’ divorce, it was easier for Victor to find time to spend with him when he wasn’t working.

They decided to head to a club to get away from prying eyes and vent. It was there that Francisco revealed that another reason they left was that Nylah got pregnant after cheating on him with Bjorn, and had a daughter that ended up being his.

Victor of course could relate, after Lily cheated with Don, she was pregnant as well. However, he knew immediately that it wasn’t his because he and Lily hadn’t made woohoo in awhile. Lily quickly terminated the pregnancy in order to keep the secret of her infidelity, but the pain of knowing it happened still hurt the same.

Francisco stopped venting for a moment, realizing that his dad had fallen silent.

Francisco: Dad?

Victor: I… I don’t know how to say this but there’s something… off with your mom.

Francisco: What do you mean, “off”?

Victor: She’s been leaving the house at night and staying out until almost sunrise. I hardly ever see her drink plasma packs anymore and she’s been more… manic than usual.

Francisco: I mean, Liana told us that she learned that our emotions are sometimes heightened. Is that what you mean?

Victor: That’s what she said after she had her little indiscretion, and I let it go until I found bloody dress shirts in the trash.

Francisco: Holy shit. So what are you thinking? Is she secretly doing crazy experiments at Cyber or running a drug cartel?
