>>121884832I give the staff a lot of credit for making Mace as deep as they did, given his role in the story. The whole scene where he's asking Lake what she expects will happen outside the train is great, and his arguments are valid if simplistic.
I think Lake deserved to escape the train, she's a person and she deserves at least a chance at having a normal life for a while. Thinking about it it really strikes home how impossibly rare it must be for that to have happened, and only a result of One getting deposed and befriending Tulip, and Jesse getting back onto the train for an unresolvable reason. I bet even if there are Infinity Trains for every complex life bearing planet in the cosmos, Lake is probably the only one to ever cross over.
