The Devil&#039;s Advocate WP wrote: Illia's speech was kind of lame, honestly. Given how she was all "your plan isn't going to work" I would think something more significant was going to happen. Almost comical in that context. She didn't even claim they were lying about Adam.

Wonder why Weiss didn't even ask about the pilot. Is that gonna be resolved or are we just supposed to forget about him?

The explanation about Ozpin explained some things, but I am still wondering if he might be one of the brothers. He said he was "cursed by the gods" and we might assume those are the brothers yet if there were other "gods" then perhaps the curse was due to their meddling on Remnant. 1. Agreed, Ilia's whole "but Adam talk/fight good" speech was so full of hole I could barely see it as an argument... I'm surprised Ghira as a leader didn't have a come-back for it immediately( I can think of around 3... and I'm not a truly experienced leader).

2. I'd think she assumed it was better not to know... if the bandits found him she already knew he wasn't to be held for ransom(as Vernal said they wouldn't bother) so either:


 * he's dead(in the crash or mercied by the bandits)


 * he wasn't found in the wreckage and can get away or possibly rescue her, which will be easiest if he doesn't get found out about by the bandits


 * he was captured and released, possibly after confirming her identity or being sent with the message.

tbh I'm just happy she admitted Weiss's skills would have got her far in the tribe.

3. I'm just wondering how he was cursed and why him yet not Salem... it seems like this indicates the gods may have been "made to bleed" by Salem or otherwise been powerless to kill her outright, expediting their planned departure out of fear and using the relics and maidens to set up a trap to stop her from usurping them.
