Damn, this guy just played out 20% of Danganronpa.
You have a short and evil jailer who just let one of the prisoners go after he messed up another prisoner. And as far as we know this is the only way to escape.
But hey, the muscular butler is gone now. Round House kick that little old lady in the face. There is only a 50% chance she will transform into a monster.
I feel like this is all part of a "plan" somehow... though not sure how yet...
seperate the old lady from her muscle?
The old lady seems quite capable of strong-arming without him. Just look at that tug.
Gwaaah, cliffhanger! And now we have to wait until next YEAR to see the ending!
Nooo Mr Butler no ! It's a trap !
I think you're right. It's in character for Booth to be a self-centered jerk, which makes the ruse plausible. But it isn't in character for him to be stupid enough to believe that Sykes would honor her end of the bargain.
Booth looks to be scared enough to believe Sykes, and there is a pretty good chance she would honor the deal, at least in reality. In lit, it is almost cliche that she does not. Quite possibly, she will explain that there is no way to honor the deal with destroying all the magic.
A triple cross is still possible, but he should have warned the others of his plan.
Ethan's wearing his ring again. I agree with the however-many-crosses trick thing. Wonder if Nora will channel a bit of a certain sister?
Still holding out for Ethan to not be a total dick!
There's something pretty off about Mrs. Sykes, too. Maybe she's connected to or channelling Gluttony somehow? Nora is clearly struggling pretty hard and yet she's not even having trouble yanking her down the hall one-handed.
