This has been a test of the emergency headpat system. If this had been an actual emergency, Metatron would have been patting Maya's head already and Ashley would demand equal time, or something.
Anyway, hoping things are well. In going through Ashley's "date" with the MC (when she gets a new outfit) I can't help thinking "Ashley + Sam = chaos" given they seem to do a pretty good job on their own and when you pair them together...
Going through the "report to Selendis" again, kind of feels like Ina fled because she wanted to learn more and not coast, and maybe not be "oh you are X's daughter" but her own person. Although she may have burned a bridge by fleeing the way she did... "Hi Mom, I fled from responsibility and found a friend/beau, aren't things great?!"
