Trust me, I wish so too. I think they're bringing Ilia along for her perspective and utility on things that could or will happen in Atlas when the heroes are there. I think there does need to be some level of character death, probably in the remainder of JNPR or Sun/Ilia, to keep the story more cohesive.

I do think Ilia will die at some point given her prominent role and late addition to the plot, but with how long she'll last, I'm not sure it will fall under the "bury your gays" trope people were worried about last volume.

As for what Sentry said, I do want to see the trip to Atlas and hope it will probably be something like the first two episodes. We could get Ilia's introduction into the group as well as some conclusion to the "Bumblebee Fallout".
