Abaddon's better than that. Also fuckin lol at saying Cio's been a non-entity lately when she literally did two fusion dances for major events while also having time to have a heart-to-heart with Allison mid-tournament.

I mean I don't know what to tell y'all. I think Cio's arc of late has been Abaddon's biggest trope indulgence in the whole comic. Considering how one of the comic's themes is inevitability, I can't imagine this being any surprise. Cio's goal was always to become the sort of person who would get offed like this.

She's been incredibly key to everything that's happened. All of Allison's actions in the tournament just don't happen without the decisions Cio made. catgirlgenius posted:Cio's goal was always to become the sort of person who would get offed like this. I have no idea what you even mean by this

The resolution of Cio's arc without fridging her is another matter

Sooner or later, Auntie Maya is going to ask Allison what she thinks of death, and Allison is going to have an answer this time. Also looking forward to the next panel in Feb being a cut to what Grandpa Vigilant Gaze is up to, and Abaddon harnesses the frustrated vibrations of the audience for free green energy.

I feel like Allison isn't going to lose her poo poo over this not because she doesn't care etc but because like she said before becoming aspected chaos, "all we can do is keep moving forward" which as a character moment doesn't get nearly enough credit.
