#i recommend you reread her entire route because none of this shit is making sense

Are you seriously prioritizing HER feelings over the lives she took and now ruined because she was a key part in a genocide ? Like you really said, she was part of making a genocide she deserves peace ?? She grew a lot on a personal level but redemption is a journey not a destination. Helena broke all her promises, she wasn't executed by the counsil because she took an oath to kill the witch queen, which she did not but had no problem killing conscripted peasants a episode ago so the retainers and helena can cut with the moral superiority bullshit, helena gave the witch queen what she was never given, agency, even in death. she promised Saerys to help keep the memory and culture of his people she destroyed alive and she's not doing so right now by fleeing and what about helping all the young magic users not to become a future witch queen or general klein ? It was explicitely said she was not recognized in the elven realm nor in the faery one. She had no bad memories there. It was left untouched by the WQ and the update showed she could be happy in this world while working on her redemption. How about all the families that she torn apart that don't get to run away like she does ? Season 4 literally showed us why Chicago was not a place for her, it made her just as anxious prone to panic just to be in crowds or seeings cars and triggered her even with her memory wiped. You can't heal where you were hurt would work if we talked about a house not a WHOLE ass dimension. The realms need help right NOW, after finally ending the war she took a huge part in and she could help so much in so little time with the magic she has. Giving back with the magic of the witch queen that took everything. That would have so much meaning. A week in chicago is 6 month in the realms. When and IF she comes back to the realms, she would have failed the people when they needed her the most. So yes, the writing is nonsense and Ishara's line was downright disrespectful for all the others survivors who don't have the luxury to run away from their traumas ( some caused by helena and the WQ's army).

Helena is not just a victim of abuse, rape and brainwashing, she's also a perpetretor with war crime and genocide under her belt and only adressing half of her in the last two seasons is a disservice to her character and her whole journey. They lost the balance they managed for 7 seven seasons. Helena doesn't deserve to run away and leave the world in shambles behind her because "traumas". She's a big girl, and not alone, and the most powerful mahic user at that and should already be growing crops and help reconstruction because not everything is about her but also about All the people she HURT. Getting rid of the WQ was personal since she was after Helena till the end, Helena had to get rid of her somehow but now she did really little for the lands and people living on it. For things that didn't serve her at the same time. In the eyes of a widow or an orphan, Helena still owns this world a lifetime of trying to better it. That's also how you heal. By being proactive and repairing mistakes and facing your fear. Any therapist would tell you that.

Fiction reflects reality, and as someone who shares half of Helena's story, her abuser may be dead but Helena lost. She literally has to go to another world to flee her memory, and coulrn't kill her in the end when even Alain did, that's not healing. The WQ died by her own hand a smile on her lips. As an abuse survivor this is very upsetting to see.

And you need to choose, is this just fiction or are we taking this seriously since you sound very heated about her fate, because Helena could be deported in Chicago or just ends up in jail. That's the reality of things. You want her traumas to be taken seriously, you also have to take her war crimes and consequences of choices seriously. You're welcome to block me, but if you come again on my posts to clown and say " she committed GENOCIDE she deserves to be at peace and leave" i'm not gonna be as nice.

WITH WHOSE MONEY YOU BROKE BITCH
