Who would've thought that Anna's plan—to clear up misunderstandings through a live broadcast—would backfire this badly?
What was meant to calm the masses has instead poured oil onto the fire.
I don't even know if Bane is aware that this scene is being broadcast live across the Empire.
But the fact that he deliberately revealed himself in such an open, crowded space tells me everything I need to know.
He came prepared.
This isn't desperation.
It's calculation.
He wants them to choose violence.
He wants to die in front of the world.
Because the moment his blood is spilled, the narrative will no longer belong to the Empire.
And once that happens…
No one—not even the Emperor—will be able to take it back.
I should have realized it sooner.
I never imagined that a fanatic, drunk on his own beliefs, would be insane enough to willingly throw his life away.
A crazy bastard.
