| 1. There is much evidence supporting the theory that Xarsa was working with (and likely also monitoring) F.L. before F.L. went too far. It was almost certain that it couldn't have been a "sudden betrayal" on F.L./Despina's part. They were both politicians, as much as that word applies in an Eunomian context. It takes two to play the game. | 1. There is much evidence supporting the theory that Xarsa was working with (and likely also monitoring) F.L. before F.L. went too far.

| - | 2. Xarsa was a Councillor (Visionary) long before Failing Light's death. The assassination of Failing Light could not retrospectively "promote" her to Visionary status. The whole "To make Eunomia better, I must become a Councillor. If that means the sacrifice of a former friend is necessary, then so be it" arc is simply wrong. Also that's not how it works. You don't become a Visionary for killing a threat. That's a Champion's job anyway. The fact that Visionary Xarsa took Failing Light's life herself, despite that she is no longer a Champion is in itself symbolically very interesting. But that's not how the story the film chose to tell, so, well. | + | 2. Xarsa was a Councillor (Visionary) long before F.L.'s death.

| 3. As far as we know, Xarsa did not actually obtain permission to assassinate F.L. beforehand, presumably because she feared that F.L. may have infiltrated the government? If you look into it, there's record that Xarsa was in fact //pardoned//, meaning that she did break the law. She took the mission on her own initiative. Interesting, right? | 3.
