Wow, is it really allowed to end like that? It's like a reverse cliffhanger but also I need to know MORE. It was slow, but it built up to the such an amazing climax that the wait was WORTH IT.

Xiala and Serapio - ugh, PLEASE!
That bath scene? GOSH. I need them to reunite - the sea and the sky I'M SCREAMING OK.
Why is their relationship both full of murder and innocence and completely sweet?

And Naranpa kinda grows on you, for someone who is extremely incompetent in any kind of political atmosphere, but also I'm rooting for her? I want her to become SOMETHING. I hope she gets revenge. 

UGH I'M SCREAMING BUT I'M OK. I'M OK............................
I'm not ok.
