Also can I just say how happy I was that Thaisha was in that scene with Yanessa. Because that challenge loud and clear from the Lloy in the campaign about "Redemption from what" was so needed. It's such a corrosive idea coming from the Candescent creed that we have all inherently done something wrong, but it's specially heinous to ask for penitence from a people who have been treated as inferior for so long. You will not take the energy of the rebellion, turn it inward into self-hatred and use it for your own good without pushback in Dol-Makjar while Thaisha Lloy is standing right there.
This is also very interestingly in conversation with Tyranny's scene with Tsul'rekshi where it seems like Tyranny has internalized this belief of the creed, that her inherent nature is sinful and evil. Sure Tsul'rekshi might agree that their nature is inherently one of destruction, and I think the situation with the knife proves that this is something beyond Tyranny's complete control, but this doesn't mean that it should be done in evil. If anything Tsul'rekshi's nature to "in every age tear down the highest tower" is a noble cause. After all, there are many things in this world worth destroying and nobody should apologize for doing just that.
