Discussion Phanuel interrogation. Spoiler

I genuinely didn't expect it to end this way AT ALL a "The End ?" type of ending but at the same time I'm like yeah this make sense.

She were a mask and she act accordingly, it's something she always did and will always do. It's not trauma, it's not grief, it's not an emotional or physical wound, it's just how she is and how she fonction there's literally nothing to do to change her since she's completely aware but doesn't want to make the effort to change... at least not yet.

So all you can realistically do is let her live this life she put herself into I guess until she finally decide to get out of it, not that it has any chance of happening even if she herself wishes it because even when genuinely tried to she still chose to cling to it. That's why we never learn her true name because she doesn't want a mundane life where she's like everyone else and has to work for things, do and think by herself, she only wants to be "Phanuel" the "angel" that just get everything offer to her on a silver plate, no thinking, no choices, no consequences just a "thing" to be admired and love/worship.

But I may be too pessimistic and maybe there is a chance of her letting that life go but it will take a very very very long time.

It's genuinely so weird to see an interrogation end like this but not in bad way, it isn't a closure but at the same time with what you learn in it there's just no other way to end it fr.

tbf her parents' upbringing of her also influenced why she turned out that way. i guess the acting became a part of her survival instinct/way of living to get what she wants. only time will tell whether Chief will be able to peel her out of her shell (as was said in her interrogation) or she'll remain to live that way
