I wonder if Allura is still haunted by her decision to send Shiro on that assignment…
She absolutely 100% is. Well, let me back up: it’s not so much her decision to send him on the assignment - because that was a newsworthy story and someone had to go - but that she wasn’t there to save him.
She’s saved Shiro countless times, from incredibly dire fates. She’s always been there for him, she’s always swooped in at the last second. And this time she wasn’t. She wasn’t there to save him and he lost his arm and... She wasn’t there. That’s what haunts her.
@ll-eucalypse just asked me how much time elapses in Arc 1, and I pegged it at about 4.5 months. And even now, she still blames herself. She still feels guilty.
I could babble more about this and how it relates to Allura in VLD, but y’all didn’t ask for that nonsense so I’ll stop there. ^_^
