>As the Wolf Girls were one of their confirmed enemies, Fenrir may have been present as well
>The Harpy/Wolf Hybrid with Reflestia is also more apt in this context
>The Plot Hole about MW!Reflestia and her forces implicitly invading the Harpy Village in order to take it over by force when they had no justified reason to leave Finoa, as well as the uncertain fate of MW!Lucretia, would be fixed: as MW!Lucretia and MW!Reflestia were supposed to be encountered in MW!Harpy Village, MW!Reflestia would never have forcibly invaded the Harpy Village but simply manifested there and MW!Lucretia simply merged with our own Lucretia
>Lucretia is focusing her efforts on stopping MW!Reflestia from re-igniting all of the wars that would have originally been happening in the MW!Harpy Village, as those towns were also present in the MW
>This also makes MW!Reflestia seem less erratic and pointlessly belligerent, as she's trying to "pre-emptively" prevent the wars she fought in, but because those conflicts were changed, this context for her behavior is also lost
>Lucretia's efforts to try and get her to balance both peace and defense are also more justified since she already has good relationships with those towns and wants to get Reflestia to understand that unity is important in times of hardship and you can't just attack your allies
>but in the end Lucretia would still be victim blamed by Alice and screwed over for the crime of preventing a warmonger from killing a ton of people
>which even Luka acknowledges was unfair and didn't fix anything

I don't mind having an excuse to keep Lucretia around in the party by the time the story ends but I don't get why she couldn't have just reused the previous reason of "I'm off to help protect the world, so wait for me until I come back home!" instead of making it so she CAN'T go back home, loses her house and it gets to the point where a lot of her subjects think she's either missing or fucking dead
