This is really keeping the intrigue alive. This episode felt refreshing since it focused more on the villains. I kinda like the story progression here. It felt more like a warm-up that builds anticipation for something good.

I kinda like how this arc is progressing smoothly. This episode was dialogue-driven and leaned more into world-building and setting up conflict. It’s very intriguing to see the villains’ POV instead of just focusing on the heroes.

This POV feels refreshing. I really like that it focuses on the villains now, giving us a better perspective and overview of their characters. Rather than satisfying my curiosity, it actually just left me even more intrigued about what will happen next.
