@Vergil Oh I see. The reason her survival doesn't change much for the story is because all the information she has from her regression is that we have another direct source for that information to come from, she has no real story importance right now beyond being Geons motivation. And I get that her death could be perceived as darker than intended, but I would remind you that the series started out pretty dark in the first place with Geon being legitimately driven insane by his torturous existence in the tower. This would've been a fresh moment to ground the story and connect with it's roots, particularly in a story that struggles to convey real consequences for anyone tangentially related to Geon. It's not like I didn't see him saving her, and it's not like I'm broken up she didn't die.
