How many of you want to bet Whitley will run the SDC into the ground? Or Jacques will realize his mistakes? Whitley is even younger than Weiss, so he isn't taking the helm any time soon.

That said, I would personally prefer Weiss start her own business from scratch than reclaim the position as heiress. No particular reason for it, though.

Hilariously enough, Phantomlink and I actually joked about that on Skype when Tipping Point came out. I was like "*GASP* What if Whitley summoned the Boarbatusk to make Weiss look bad, tho? He probably didn't, but it'd be so fucked up."

Weiss did look sincerely confused when the summon showed up. And Whitley did boast about how much he had grown while she was away.

Really? Remember Winter in V3. The first time she slapped Weiss it could be and I actually brushed it off as comic relief. But the second time it clearly wasn't. And both times it was an insta reaction to Weiss not responding as she wished. And both times Winter automatically switched to a sweet and caring disposition.

I'm not saying Winter's caring was fake. But the whole family does seem to be trapped in a cycle of abuse. I wouldn't be surprised if none of them truly knew how to sort things through dialogue.
