👽// conflict on this blog will come a lot easier once i finally sit my butt down and get apex’s design squared away so i can release that ABOMINATION AGAINST NATURE onto the dash.
This is something that’s been on my mind for SEASONS; Ash purposefully makes sure that Newton is not present for the raid. In the cinematic she tells him to take the night off, and in the book he disappears with Ash just before the raid happens. Ash kills and maims her friends with quite literally no hesitation. According to Horizon, her and Ash were extremely close. Ash babysat Newton and had dinner with their family. But Ash STILL killed Horizon. Without a moment of pause. Something she MADE SURE she didn’t do with Newton. She planned for him to leave. Did she have something to gain from him not being present?? If so, what?? Where is he??? Why is she so anxious to explain what happened?? Did she tell him to leave because she genuinely couldn’t bring herself to kill him after she helped raise him?? Did she feel leftover guilt from Horizon??? Was Newton in the way somehow??
