It could be because I've had not much more than 3 hours sleep today, but all this hand-wringing about "this character could DIE! AGAIN! But last time was axed so YOU DON'T KNOOOOOOWWWW" is grating on me. Like, are we supposed to feel sorry for whoever this is because they nearly died before in a draft that only LKH knows? That we're meant to somehow psychically be attuned to all the ~~~~feelings she has for her characters? Because it's not like she does a stellar job of conveying how a death or near miss will impact the narrative.
Then again, if I had my way I'd probably execute most of the cast, starting with Anita.
(Iirc, Micah was also supposed to die at the end of NiC and look how well that turned out.)
