> But I will rebut one thing at least. You weren’t expected to laugh with Sonata, she just found it hilarious because; "You came in here, yelled at me and chewed me out, when I was doing nothing wrong, and then the kid you did that for rejected you and still likes me more. That’s hilarious to me." They’re sisters of over a thousand years, they’re gonna rib each other from time to time lol[/bq]
I_*would_* buy that, but as is also common in other siren-related stuff, I don't see anyone ribbing Sonata at all, or even calling her on her behaviour (EDIT: Sorry, should have specified, calling her on it in-universe, not as one of the comments), I see her getting away with her antics as always.

> I also ask you to point to a non flashback scene where Sonata has been a horrendous human being. The only example I can think of is her throwing a tantrum when everyone showed up and started calling her a bitch and a horrible person, and it’s like "Well what was she supposed to do? NOT get angry when a bunch of people started insulting her all at once?" She was answering answers perfectly fine and normally until people did that lol.[/bq]
It was exactly that scene that cemented her as the worst of the bunch. She outlined, in no uncertain terms, that she was a self-absorbed hypocrite incapable of feeling for anyone else, even leaving off with bailing because she didn't like people holding her accountable for her actions.
I don't think she's had a single_*good_* moment for this entire comic.

> I meant it when I said it feels disproportionate, because I get the feeling that when I get around to showing how evil Adagio and Aria actually were, they’re gonna get a free pass while Sonata will still be under the bus lol[/bq]
With regard to the last several pages and reactions to them, one has to wonder if that (even if it's as bad as what Sonata pulled with her kids) was in the plans already, or if it's something you came up with recently in the hope of 'balancing out' peoples' reactions to Sonata. :/
Even if you really did already have that written out, however, it still doesn't change the fact that, again, Aria and Adagio have shown humanity and behavior people can understand and sympathize with where Sonata has not. If that's still the case by that time, I wouldn't say anyone was out of line for feeling the same as they do now.
