While I try to gather my thoughts for a post about the Tower, I feel like everyone in this fandom should be familiarized with the prayer for burial at sea from the Anglican Common Book of Prayer:

For as much as it has pleased Almighty God to take unto Himself the soul of our dear brother departed, we therefore commit his body to the deep to be turned to corruption; looking for the resurrection of the body (when the sea shall give up her dead) and the life of the world come, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who shall change our vile body, that it may be like unto His glorious body, according to the mighty working whereby He is able to subdue all things to Himself.

like it's genuinely sooooo bad. the moment they met Kiriona was so bad. and every reaction was 100% justified.

Kiriona woke up to someone posessing Harrow's body and her only friends are totally fine with it, more, they defend whoever this is! and they try to steal her blood and use her just like everyone in her life and they talk about her like she's and object!

for Camilla and Palamedes's knowledge Gideon was stashed somewhere in Harrow's brain but now she's out and she serves the Emperor and apparently she's his heir? how can they trust her, especially that the Sixth House abandoned the Nine Houses?

Kiriona was angry about Nona but what if she knew that one of the reasons Camilla and Palamedes cared about her so much was because they thought she might be Gideon of Harrow or them both?

and their first interaction was so weird, on one hand Kiriona was quite agressive and Camilla almost attacked her, but at the same time Kiriona seemed genuinely worried about Cam? Palamedes said that he still considers Gideon his friend but how true was that?

and then there was Cam and Pal's ascention and Kiriona acted like she didn't care except that she did exactly what Cam did in gtn when Gideon was saying goodbye to Harrow, and then she almost gave Paul her coat? and then she joked about their name?

Camilla defended Nona from Kiriona but no one supported Kiriona when Crux told her she deserves to die, and like, it was a very stressful situation but it still hurts so bad

and then Kiriona acted as if she were Ianthe's bestie (is she Ianthe's bestie? i'm not sure) and as if she didn't care about Harrow's body and like. AAAAAAAAAAA.

all of them acted awful but all of them were justified, yk?
