So, if you're here, you've either completed the latest chapter or you don't care about being spoiled. Just a final warning.

I think it's awesome they've strayed from "safe" storylines. Lilias was introduced as someone somewhat sketchy but kind of the good guy. I think most of us guessed what was going to happen here, but even I was shocked when we learn that she approached Straze, and not the other way around.

She isn't being blackmailed at all, she's not trying to protect anyone (not really), she's just evil and/or twisted. And in a refreshing way because she has motives, even if she's a little stereotypically "I'll be the queen of it all!" nuts.

This is just my appreciation post to the writing crew at SG, they've stepped up and strayed from 'safe' storylines that kind of plagued Episode 1 - even if the writing there was okay compared to most other anime games.

Plus Pavel. Pavel is a rock star. Also more Luluca Violet shenanigans/adorableness. ^_^
