Revelations from Tales from the Twilight

Part of me feels like this was a retcon, and part of me doesn't.

Fordola knowing Yda is a curve outta left field, and as was pointed out, she never told Lyse, making it feel like it's a pretty bad addition. I do however think there's some logic as to why she didn't say anything. Why would she broadcast something she blames herself for, especially to the little sister of the woman she got killed? It's likely that to this day it's a sore spot for her, a moment when she realized just how powerless she was, just like when she had to give the order to open fire on her own friends. Overall while nice for explaining and continually showing that Fordola and Lyse are foils to one another, it's also a bit unnecessary at this juncture. It's also a reminder on how badly the Ala Mhigan side of Stormblood was done.

Could also be that she doesn't realise that Lyse might be the same Lyse that Yda spoke of, or she could have forgot completely. I'm expecting this is a set up for later on where Fordola will have an echo of Lyse and realise who she is in relation to Yda
