Mb | May 22, 2023 | Reading Time: 2 Min.
The episode begins where it left off last week, with Suletta grappling with Miorine's shocking actions. Unprepared for such a turn of events, Suletta convinces herself that a return to normalcy might mend things between them.
In addition to the existing turmoil, the episode reveals a significant secret about Suletta's birth and Eri's evolution into Aerial. It turns out that Suletta is a clone of her older sister, created so that Eri, now in digital form, could control Aerial and maintain her independence. This revelation adds a new twist to the relationship between Suletta and Elan.
The dismissive attitude of Prospera and Eri toward Suletta, whom they deem expendable after she has served her purpose, leaves a bitter aftertaste in the story. The indifference these two central figures show toward Suletta's situation underscores the ruthless nature of the power struggles driving the narrative.
The episode continues to advance toward the political machinations setting the stage for a climactic showdown on Earth. Miorine steps forward, presenting herself as a potential peace negotiator. However, the undercurrents of betrayal and ulterior motives suggest that this peace proposal might be a precursor to a catastrophic fallout. Shaddiq's constant scheming and the likely trigger-happy response from Eri or Prospera heighten anticipation for the events to come.
