Our world is a visual art.
For every creature, the view is made up of individual pieces, the boundaries of which define the scope of the eye. On the inner level, the level of the mind, things are more complicated. The picture of the world is shaped by emotions, the works directly consumed, and the conclusions we draw from them.
Ms. Falcone, in her final form, knew only struggle. Because that's what the criminal empire lives on. Distrust. Violence. Subjugation. Fear...

For a long time, the only camera that shows the image from Sofia's head to the real world has been techniques. Different in form but identical in core. Carmine's methods.
The shot with the girl dug itself into my memory like a shard, and it took me a while to realize the importance of that moment.
At first I thought it was about an imminent repetition of the family's previous mistakes. About destroying people who know too much. About lies that are meant to protect(that's what they say).
But Sofia couldn't act like this.

Her nature rejected the idea of dictatorships. She once responded to the Gigante, but at the end we hear only one name, Sofia. Why?

I think at some point, thanks to the girl, she realized that there was no way out of this madness. Her mistake was the idea of just flying away. We saw it there, in the other Gotham. Same conflict with the Penguin. Same manipulation. No less sad an ending.

You can't leave this world outside of a coffin, prison, or coma. Not until you've lost what's left of your humanity. That's the trap the mob falls into. As they yearn for freedom, they are seen as weak. The strong do not want freedom because they already believe that it makes them vulnerable.
Sofia thought well. Destroy the legacy. Let mobs kill each other so that the winner takes everything and doesn't have to worry about bringing back the dead king's daughter.
For the first time in history, she found the perfect way out. She'd have enough money to hide so the police wouldn't ask questions. But could she live like that after everything that had happened? Short opinion - no.

She's already started a war and killed tons of people. She's already been a part of it. The only hope of leaving the game is to not be a part of it. And she could when the elites (later killed by her) were alive. However...

Everything is built on perception. And if you don't have the knowledge of how to live differently in your head...
...and the woman only knew luxurious dinners and the dirt floors of Arkham...
You're not going to do the right thing. Because you need experience, which you don't have. Sophia's fate is not the work of Penguin, Batman, Catwoman, anyone.

It's not the father's fault. Whether she hates him, loves him, doesn't care. One scenario.

But that doesn't mean she doesn't have a chance at all. After all, if you can't live, and there's no way to live without dying...

You need to learn Resurrection. You know who has mastered this art better than anyone else.
Our lives are made up of the visual. Sofia will put together the perfect picture. It's not a matter of possibility. Just a matter of time.
