Ah... So just speaking to Julia trying to sort information and she was supposed to be preparing to serve Niht and knew about the "catalyst" well in advance.Alex drops Niht essence as well so we have compulsion? And blood control though i really don't know how Miki comes into all this, this may turn into a lore dump but I just find it weird how us dying to Walter triggered us being possessed though the stress of thinking we died for real to Julia prior probably didn't help, I also feel this was gonna happen with all the Ls the MC has taken this update, no info from Noo, Domi being a sociopath and blaming us for everything with Julia doing the same. At a lot of points down to orchestration and she still may be im starting to think Vaila is the principal also but her not knowing about the elements changes makes me doubt that, either that or its the classic everybody has an idea of what niht and the Katalist will do but then something completely different happens, sorry for the wall of text and don't know if I'm just chatting waffle or if any of its interesting but please do reply, as a soulsbourne gamer I live for this between the lines stuff lmao
