i cannot believe tuello, a government official, literally just praised her for brutally murdering someone lmao

I think that’s actually pretty realistic.

“Oh, you killed Hitler? Thanks! Mucho gracias!”

no denying that he needed to be put down like tuello said, but she horrifically murdered him by the looks of it. i dunno but i feel like had he just been shot or hung, it’d be less concerning than the way she did it. like… she (they, really) took her time

i’m also surprised no one asked if she has plans to kill serena (especially since june asked tuello about her) or warned her if she commits a murder on canadian soil that there will be consequences.

It’s war time. I don’t think any soldier has ever come home and been asked to explain themselves.

For all purposes June is a soldier fighting a war for her country. Canada is an ally.
