oof this had so much potential, and i loved the heist aspect and the two top tier thieves battling with each other and foiling each others training and secret rooms. what took a turn for me was realizing Jade (Crystal/Emerald) was just only 18 and is the memory of the young 'girl' jacob slept with at the sex club / brothel and has been lusting over ever since. i can read age-gap, but this took a turn for me about how he remembered her/described her at that time. And, this was trying to maybe be a 'dark' romance but it didn't succeed in that.
