All this talk of Papalymo just reminds me how much he didn't work for me lol. I understand it was supposed to be funny, and more seriously that he was very protective of her, but I often felt he was too unkind to Yda/Lyse.

Different strokes for different folks, but I was low-key an itty bitty tiny bit relieved when he was killed, and I always forget about him entirely until the game randomly reminds me, or moments like these when someone else brings him up.

That said, I thought his death (much like Haurchefant's imo) was sudden, unimpactful, and anticlimactic. Unlike Haurchefant, though, his death was handled in such a way that I was honestly surprised he was actually dead. Up until the moment The Aitiascope both reminded me that he'd ever existed in the first place and that he was definitely actually dead, I wouldn't have been surprised if he had ended up turning up alive at some point. But here we are!
