Bad that Pyrrha’s death specifically makes Knightfall more interesting to me as opposed to less, because the immoral act (killing Pyrrha) is immediately and drastically inciting (a cascade of ideas: idealism of the Huntress; the never-ending war against Salem; Maidenhood; the inherent tragedy of your own God-damned, literally damned, decisions; the things we do to protect ourselves and hurt others; the thing you absolutely cannot do to protect the one whom you want to protect from their own fate and what they choose; the necessity of death; the necessity of life; what do you do after the worst, most horrible thing you’ve ever done; what do you do when the horrible things don’t matter anymore; what do you do when the one person who could confront you over it and cares enough to do it CONFRONTS YOU; what if she was part of you too, the worst and best part of you; what if your anima was her; what if you became the Fall Maiden at the same time as Ruby realised her own silver eye powers; what if the darkest thing you’ve ever done is also the very thing that makes you capable of the most good; what if you were capable of equal good and equal evil and able to embody both aspects of the Guardian of Choice, Fall Maiden; what was any of this worth and what was the point?)
