Been a week, new topic anyway...
I THINK the first time I went through the Deepwoods interior I was super lucky (or, maybe Metatron is an effective teammate) because at level 31 with Ashley I was slaughtered pretty badly. I was thinking "this isn't so bad!" then with Ashley I ran into two sets of bird-type enemies, was able to beat the first set and the second set blasted me right quick! UGH...
Even though I love Sarah the most of the core group, there is something special about seeing Metatron with a legit smile, or even better, a blush! I don't know if it's Metatron actually understanding her emotions now, or being more than just weapon as she was before, but I do love seeing Metatron smile!
Still waiting on the prank war between Ashley, Queen of the Succubi(tm), and Metatron though...
