When Raphtalia comes face to face with the beast of a human who destroyed her childhood and violated her friend, the writers ruin her vengeance in the cheapest, laziest possible way by having the swine trip over his own whip's handle then fall through a window to his death.
It's obscene. Do they really think we'll adore the character any less if she executes this grotesque ______ of ________ herself?
Writers do themselves and their characters no favors by trying to keep the latter 'morally pure' especially in a world full of necessary compromises. In addition, there's nowhere to imprison this worst of all criminals---any prison will only be temporary, so leaving him alive is only to leave him to continue to do the worst sort of harm.
Shame on the writers for their narrative cowardice!
