Well, i find it a waste of a character development for Lyria case. There was a build up to make players fond of Lyria then relegate suddenly to background character. Since we also saw Aria having a nose bleed, i am assuming she is having side effect of some sort. I have a weird feeling either Lyria or Aria will die. Hope there is no foreshadowing in this....
Nothing is a waste, friend. What is a waste is what I've done... I should've stuck with what I wanted, what it should be, and how it was meant to be.
And this is a mistake I've learned far too late, but I will correct it nonetheless. Lyria had her purpose, and her purpose ended with Chapter I. This was as far as she was meant to go, initially, planned, and written long in advance.
People may like or dislike this, and I will respect each opinion on it. But it will not change the outcome.
As for the nose bleed scene... it is BAD, but not THAT BAD. I won't even spoiler this, because this isn't anything major. People know this already, just that many forgot as it happened quite some updates ago.
Eliot has a word vow with Aria, a pact. They're linked. This is why Aria is hell bent on not allowing him to roam about on his own, and why she sticks to him for protection.
While The Justice guy, didn't kill him, he did bring him to death's doors. And given the fact if Eliot dies and rolls, so does Aria. This was basically what I was showcasing, reminding people of the pact once again.
So she suffered the consequences of it. And in same time made her aware it didn't exactly go as he said initially, that he will just go to Dwarves briefly.
She isn't in some threat but... she certainly felt the consequence. Painfully at that.
