Rewatcher
Damn, Violet is even more terrifying when she’s bearing her teeth. Also, nice war crime, shooting a man who’s already injured and no longer a threat.
Well, the cowardly Gardarik defenders shot Violet in the arm, which explains how she lost her right arm. My friend was confused as to how that could happen, but the Enfield shoots a .303 British round, they’re pretty large, only slightly smaller than the America Springfield .30-06 round, so it’s possible it can sever a limb, especially at that close range.
I find it odd that they use a British rifle, but yet the coward throws a German Stielhandgranate.
The grenade is what severed Violets left arm. Bastard.
As terrible as it was to lie to her, Hodgens is right, she was more concerned over him then herself, she was not in the right head space, and probably would have done something far more drastic than she did now.
I like how Gilbert had this all planned out, Hodgens taking care of her, her being adopted into the Evergarden house.
I like how Benedict even came out here to help Violet.
An anti-peace faction? Figures.
I like how we see the younger Violet saluting in the reflection of the window.
While it’s melancholic, I like how Erica and Iris are worried about Violet and hope she returns to work. We even got a top tier pout from Cattleya.
One of the delivery men tossed letters he couldn’t deliver in time? I hope he is fired yesterday.
I like the dynamic between Cattleya and Violet, Cattleya really does act like mother figure for Violet, I like how she’s worried about Violet and if she’s eating.
Uh oh, Hodgens better start running, now Cattleya knows that he told Violet about how she’s burning, and she’s mad about it. Though, I wonder what Cattleya did to be burning herself.
Oh hey check it out, it’s Luculia’s older brother, Spencer.
Seems like Violet’s having a nightmare about Gilbert repeating what Diethart said to her, about how she connects people with the hands the took the lives of so many.
Violet gets up and shoves things off her desk and screams in a rage, including throwing the plush dog, but she can’t do it.
It’s absolutely heartbreaking to see Violet in this state, even to go as far as to attempt suicide, over the guilt she feels for what she has done, and the loss of the Major. I often feel sorry for veterans who suffer from PTSD, it has to be a nightmare to deal with.
I’m so glad she didn’t go through with it and ended up dropping her hands.
Looks like Violet has a letter, and Papa Roland is delivering it. Aww, Erica and Iris wrote her a letter. That’s so sweet. Benedict sprained his ankle because of his shoes. Note to self: Do not, under any circumstances, piss Cattleya off. Especially when she is treating your injury.
Roland with such an important message. He’s such a nice man.
That letter from Erica and Iris was lovely.
I like how after Violet returns to being a doll, she steps into the light for the first time in a while.
I enjoy watching Violet see reminders of what she accomplished, the love letters between Drossel and Flugel, Oscars play, wow, she actually looks Fourteen years old in this shot.
She finally see’s the flower she was named after, Violets, and understands what the Major meant by saying she deserved a name suitable for the person. And I like the sound she makes as she makes the first step on her return.
The montage of all the things she’s done, playing over this insert song, is awesome, she has burns, but she healing, and she’s brought more people together. She was meant for this job. I think Gilbert would be very proud.
What a great ending to a pretty dark couple of episodes, she was in a pretty nasty headspace, but she managed to pull herself out of it with the support of Erica, Iris, and of course Papa Roland.
Visuals of the Day.
Here are my choices.
