That said, the Grandmaster DID put two safeguards in place against Weissmann going rogue.

That's exactly what I'm talking about. For all her pretty words the safeguards against Weissmann were only to be used if he was to betray the society; that is, if Weissmann's behavior ever affected the Grandmaster negatively.
As long as the puppy Weissmann was kicking wasn't hers, she clearly had no problems with the way Weissmann was an horrible excuse of a human being all too human monster.

There's a quote from von Clausewitz: "A conqueror is always a lover of peace (as Bonaparte always asserted of himself); he would like to make his entry into our state unopposed"
The hypocrisy of the aggressor, of the would-be conqueror, in declaring him or herself a lover of peace should be obvious.
The same for the Grandmaster. If she actually cared about how Weissmann behaved, she'd never have employed him in the first place or she'd have told him to tone it down; lamenting his behavior after he delivered exactly what she wanted (even if posthumously) is nothing but dishonest.
She clearly doesn't care about the deaths from her plans, her machinations; lamenting those deaths in the same breath where she orders new deaths is frankly vile.

Nah, Aidios is clearly Dorothy.

Anyway Campanella is quite a treat, and this door does some good in setting up some things for the series to explore later. Also has some more subtle things that you might miss on the first time you view it.

Nah, Dorothy is Aidios taking a vacation on the mortal realm. How do you think she gets photos so good? Because when the Goddess tells the scenery to smile, the scenery is smart enough to listen and obey.

E: brainfart I'm agreeing with you

(well, obviously many of them appear in future arcs, but that's reading ahead)

Not together though. Never again together. Even if we'll meet some of them again in future arcs the Trails in the Sky cast is now officially disbanded.

We might meet the martial artist formerly known as Zane Zin again in the Calvard arc, or Olivert in the Erebonia games, and I really want a Trails of Cute Justice game, but it's the final time we'll get to see this particular grouping.

And it's an AWESOME farewell with Estelle being, as her usual, the best.
