like first of all i am firmly team Kiriona Is Gideon - maybe gideon with a little bit missing from the reverse lyctorhood and definitely Depressed Gideon, but there's nothing to suggest she's a wholly new person and not just the same person, who has undergone radical change within the last few months. in fact, there's WAY more evidence to suggest she is the same gideon we have seen before, but bitter and depressed and in different circumstances.

second of all, theres not much evidence to the contrary. while the majority of this book's readership are certified John Antis (with reason!) and are likely to project those sentiments onto gideon, we have no evidence that she actively detests him, or anything of the sort. she certainly has reasons to dislike him (everybody does), but at least in the short glimpses of htn and ntn that we get of their relationship, she doesn't seem to act upon them. she thinks of him as her father.
