Consider: Pyrrha says to Wake’s revenant “Kill me all you like, just tell me the truth” and then ends up killing Wake to spare her having truth dragged out of her by God. Without Pyrrha herself having any idea what the fuck was going on.
Consider also that Wake’s unhinged raving letters in Harrow’s River bubble include a reference to Pyrrha asking her for something (“the first time I died I ask of him what I now ask of you”) and then later suggests that what Pyrrha asked for was a quick death (“him I will kill quickly because she asked me to”, with him being likely Gideon the First and therefore his death being the same as Pyrrha’s death), and then when Pyrrha walks into Wake’s interrogation, Wake looks at her with an expression that Gideon describes as the way you look at someone “whose presence meant total reprieve” and the reprieve Pyrrha gives her is a quick death, in the form of a bullet to the head that blasts her soul out of Cytherea’s body.
Like is it possible Pyrrha had some larger political motive for taking Wake out of the equation before the conversation could continue? Yeah for sure. But also. The vibes.
