First trial of the expansion. EW's tidal waves of shock roll on.

"Let your murder mark the beginning of the end."
-Fandaniel

---

-Yet again: HOW IS THIS ONLY LEVEL 83?? Even after the Zodiark trial, it seemed like we were going to go down a route where Zodiark was temporarily bound up again to be dealt with later, but Fandaniel said "fuck that."

-Not sure if Fandaniel is truly dead yet. He sure seemed to think so, but without the white auracite I don't see how that's possible. Though maybe since he "died" inside Zodiark, it had permanence. I'm assuming for now that he's truly gone, but not 100% on that.

-Major kudos to Fandaniel's plan actually working - in his eyes, anyway - and his farewell thoughts. Evil and nihilistic and sad and desperate and disappointed, and STILL SOMEHOW HOPEFUL? Or at least hoping for hope.

-With the caveat that Zenos is a monster who has committed atrocities who in real life would be undeserving of any pity: I feel terrible for him. He's just so dang sad. I loved his "acting" here, the facial expression we saw when Ququshu told him she won't fight just for his amusement.

-Core question: who will be the new Big Bad? Who was that mwa-ha-haing voice in the planet? [Note: this is 1000% a rhetorical question, please do not tell me, thank you!] Process of elimination makes me want to say Hydaelyn since she's the only real remaining power on a level with Zodiark, but I doubt that's the case. She just does not at all give off that vibe, even at her sketchiest.

I think it's someone yet to be revealed, or someone I've met but forgotten about.
