Welp, seems Klein is no longer living in the manor after helping Weiss, as many of us expected. Please don't tell me he's working at the mines... because that'd be both lore-wise fitting and sad.

Now we can finally, oficially, call Mama Schnee Willow! And wow... the barely functional mother straight up called out Weiss about leaving Whitley alone with Jacques. I gotta say, I wasn't expecting to hear it from her of all people... I guess at least she tried, while Weiss+Winter took it at face value, because there's only so much you can do to help someone who insists they don't want/need you (Sun is an example of that).

You can tell how toxic Jacques has been to the Schnees: He made every member to look for some means of survival.

- Willow: Constant surveillance with a touch of alcoholism. - Winter: Leaving for the Atlas military. - Weiss: Leaving to study abroad. - Whitley: Becoming just like Jacques to secure social stability.

I did realize back in Punished that Whitley preferred obedience rather than defiance and I'm glad that implication wasn't unfunded after all. I hope we get to see Weiss acting like the big sister she some time in the future is or else Whitley will receive more wine glasses to the face... and that's not a good place end up on.

Brace yourselves, people of Mantle... a very cold Christmas is coming.
