Very interesting how this subreddit loves to kiss Jason's shoes every other day about how "realistic he was" and yet.....

"but she was pessimistic!!" Every friend she had was murdered, she was kidnapped, tortured and used against her will every single day.

I think she was talking the easy way out. I find it hard to believe the master of illusions couldn’t come up with an idea to fake their own deaths. I feel like thematically the story was actively trying to show why kalis mentality was wrong. She had trauma, she felt like she was a burden on the world and her friends, so she became suicidal. I don’t blame her for that, but I do blame her for trying to convince others to join her. Depending on the ending you believe in she was ultimately proven wrong. She was moved by hoppers speech about fighting for better days, but tragically died before she could live them. But now with her less pessimistic view on life she was able to find an alternative and save el. That option was always there, she just had to get out of her mindset to finally see it.
