@stowaway Interesting, I think Aranea got a perfect ending to her character arc and showcased what can happen if you try to fight the predestination/narrative of paradox space.

She tried to hijack the story and lead it in a different direction falling into her lineage's trap of trying to seize relevancy for themselves. For that, she was punished, basically being banned from ever being relevant again. Even when she appeared in the epilogues, she wasn't given dialogue and was knocked out inmediatly.

Basically, getting an ending that was tied to her falling into the Serket curse, and also serving as the ultimate evidence to the idea that the only way the heroes could avoid their fate and the pain that paradox space brings was by leaving.
