a plausible excuse for veled to leave, some of the suspense is taken away now that we know its rigged, and jiggy will likely live the life of a celebrity fearing the tabloids
Hrm.
"Don't show everyone you're DI." is a bit hard when it's the only way to survive.
I expect the Jig to be up when something pushes her too hard...
Veled seems to play the whole field.
Still cocky and willing to mess with your head.
But not to into the habit to kill dead inside on sight.
I take Veled is more of a balance seeking kind of person and not the kind to fly of the handle and commit a purge to prevent an Apocalypse.
Hope this ends on a good point and not with a threat of "If you cross me you die and don't make the mistake that we're friends cause we're not."
That might leave things strained between these two.
I dunno if it's rigged, so much as Veled's offering the promise of ensuring that no "accidents" happen.
I dunno, Veled is doing a win-win kind of deal. If Jigsaw agrees to it, Veled doesn't even need to do anything. If Jigsaw bites it, oh well, no more herald of the apocalypse, so sad.
Hell, she does say that they will go free, not what condition they will be in.
Clever, very clever.
