Because then her reasons for involving herself at all (which I wouldn't expect from her by default) become much more clear
Both of those ideas can coexist tommy. Hell I still suss M2H to some extent but I forget why and he doesn't fit my solve either so I don't push it in the slightest. The idea with AF has been consistent for me: I see the case, I want to believe the case, but I need to fit her into my solve better. That means figuring out what the fuck is going on with Jalmont, what the fuck iils going on with Laurel/Clouds, etc. It feels like a very transitory part of the day where I have a bunch of ideas but I can't mush them all together bc I need more info from ppl who won't just fucking give it. That's also why I less-than-half-jokingly wanted to wagon jalmont at SoD
