#I don't believe the movie when it shows Vero dying

[oh-cool-a-burning-sword]

So that new Feh chapter, huh.

This chapter was just the representation of Chowder's 'And nothing can go wrong- OH NO IT ALL WENT WRONG' clip.

And I know that Instys likely won't kill Veronica, even if that was shown in the mid-book movie. She's popular enough that I doubt they'd do that. Plus I've heard of a theory that Bruno might have given Xander the actual fruit and the one Alf tried to use was fake which if that's the case would be a pretty smart move.

Embla thinks that the fruit was used up so she might not expect it if Xander rolls up with it at the last moment. She may not be able to stop controlling Vero in time and thus she ends up dying instead. At the same time Embla has a counterspell for the fruit and I doubt Bruno had much time to find/make a fake fruit.

if Vero does end up dying then boy would that be an angsty end, especially since we've seen her in all the books, going from an enemy to a reluctant ally to a friend. Like book 5 was already pretty sad with Reginn having her entire life turned upside down in the span of 13 chapters, if things go wrong this has the potential of being much WORSE.

And Alfonse, poor Alfonse. In the last few moments of this chapter we see that he got a new expression and he just... looks so hopeless. There's no light in his eyes, he's looking so solemn. And in that moment he's blaming himself for Bruno's death even if there was nothing he could really do. How could he have known that Embla would have prepared for this?

All I know is that after this book the Askr fam needs a nice long break, Veronica too if she happens to survive this book. I know they'll be thrown into the next big situation, but still.

Oh well, it's September so we all know what that means. Everyone enjoy summoning for Elm or Bruno at the end of the month.
