Man Vahid is becoming a monster negotiator. He has done so much through the game that makes me wonder when things really get hairy how devasting is it going to be.

Right!? He can't match with Cyril 1 on 1 because of the 1-stack-storm - also I'd like to see it acknowledged more that he's so committed to building alliances rather than personal power - but he's gotten really good at consolidating power. It really is starting to feel more and more like the endgame is Vahid's alliance vs Cyril's dominion.

> You must stand together, or you will fall alone, and you will fall farthest of all, great Jahalim.

Killer closing line. Hard to ignore when you drip in some threats to the ego.

Edit: "Vahid is rolling for all the marbles here" HE SURE THE FUCK IS lol

OK I see this is going to be the kind of episode where I have to keep my comments section open in another window 😅.

> Vahid holds his gaze. “You were right. Only a little early.”

This banter is fucking _great_. Vahid has come so far even since he had to match wits in Marshedge, it's so cool to see. I'm....I'm beginning to like him?

" To his surprise, its place within the sensation of his mind has shifted slightly, and as he focuses on it, he feels his empty eye socket open, and from it, cold white light spills forth."

That's so cool! Vahid's getting better and better each episode (both aesthetically and as a character)!
