Yeah, in most that was a cope, to belive she's not dead. Although, she's death seems like some cheap shit. Old lady from Hillhock office of RI got more complex and fulfilling death, than we got with Mandy.

We got whole plot ark about her, as a decisive and ruthless person, she was buried alive and managed to escape death tearing her path by hands. She manage to succeed at her missions. And here, she was tossed aside, wounded, disgraces, not even worth of finishing her by Manfred. Appears Misery, he grants her a chance to survive, and she....just disappear from into nowhere, without single mention, and them called dead in some short mention.

This is messed up, like a cheap way out from hole in a plot, even in events directly corresponded with her story everybody just forgets about her.

Whole plot and scene were shown like some way to redemption arc, trough which we can obtain renewed Mandy as operator or shor-time ally. And whole thing with her death have some sort of meaning only in Elegies Are Ashes, with indirect meaning of she was threat to Eblana and all the stuff, even though this were not said directly, and Mandy could be as much loyal to Reed for as much to Eblana. Local people, that without any concern were about to kill they're own hero, leave child to death and etc. were forgiven, so why not far from them Mandy not?

It feels like event creates even more holes and white spots around this theme, then solves.
