Aha. So the series keeps on dumping on her because reasons and UF actually points out it's not all bad and everything hasn't actually gone to shit.

It's starting to sound to me like the creators of Avatar are the neurotic ones--neurotic artsy avant-garde types who can't ever have anything good happen to the protagonist because that's so plebeian. This is like Ragulin and his L'Ecole Musico-Technologique, valuing nonsense solely because it stands against normalcy.

this world created by the
hands of the gods
everything is false
everything is a LIE
the final days have come
now
let everything be destroyed
