#As for Tru Piss I wonder if we're not supposed to believe that after blasting Billy Rhea flew away

Thinking a bit on the "hows" of GM's flight in both FE16 and Nopes -
Why wasn't Rhea caught in Tru Piss?
In the other routes, Uncle send Baldo'n'Waldi, aka the "reserve troops" as soon as Supreme Leader asks him, Baldo'n'Waldi are too numerous for Rhea to fight and they pin her to the ground, Billy saves her and then gets blasted by Uncle - and then, we learn Rhea's been caught.
In Tru Piss though?
Rhea blasts Billy but... what was Uncle doing? The reserve troops still exist, since they were created way before Billy decided to side with Supreme Leader, so what?
Are we supposed to believe Uncle didn't come this time, thus didn't bring Baldo'n'Waldi and Rhea successfully ran away?
But then, she doesn't transform to fly away : in the non Tru Piss routes, she transforms to power through the Imperial army to buy enough time for everyone to escape.
And yet, both in Tru Piss and Nopes, Rhea ultimately flies away (Nopes remembers that a white beast was sighted), did she buy enough time to make people escape?
Or, without Billy being there to "take care of everyone" should she die, she decided to survive another day, to lead her people to safety and have her revenge?
Also, how the frick Claude and Dimitri in FE16, who were still fighting when Rhea turned in her lizard form, escaped?
They followed some church members and ultimately went "left or right" at a crossroads to return home? While we know, per Emile, that the fighting escalated to neighbouring areas?
Are we supposed to believe Adrestia allowed the crown Prince of Fearghus to return nilly-willy North, without skewering him and later claiming it was an "accident", since they plan to invade Faerghus anyways? Ditto for Claude?
Supreme Leader put a hit on them since the prologue, but then she doesn't use the chaos of this battlefield to have them dead?
I know we're not supposed to think too much about it and "it just happened", but damn if I really wonder how the cast (especially Dimitri and the BL!) managed to get away from Garreg Mach, or how Rhea managed to get rid of the numerous Baldos'n'Waldis in Tru Piss to ultimately end up in Faerghus.
