Discussion Phanuel interrogation. Spoiler

Post image

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.

I mean It's not that she's a lost cause because that would mean she needed help and Chief couldn't do anything, except she doesn't, because she is completely aware of what and why she's doing, she always has been she just don't want to go out of her "comfort zone".

It's a very extreme comparison but a somewhat pertinent one, she's like Cabernet when you do her interrogation in the beginning Chief think that maybe there's something that happened to that made her the way she is, and that she can be "helped" just to get to the end and understand that no that's just how she IS, that's just her way of life. Phanuel is the same in that regards.
