I'm starting to see things more clearly now. Thugos believes that if he gives Lara limitless power, it will make her loyal to him, so he can use her for his evil purposes. The fault with that logic is Lara has already learned how to handle being powerful, and she hasn't turned evil yet.

In fact, it's not even guaranteed that she would take him down, because she always tries to consider the consequences first: Who depends on him for survival, and what will become of them; and what kind of worse evil would take his place.

Or I could be wrong, and the act of someone reading the wonderwall personally would cause destruction of the Parodyverse, and Thugos wants her to believe it's her fault. Or maybe he's confident she'll learn something from it that prompts her to want it destroyed.





That's an easy mistake to make, since he can resurrect as easily as anyone else who has.





Now that might be funny, because while Chiaki hates being called an assassin, she might use that to appear threatening to the Bitches so they can't push her around. Chiaki does have a bit of a sense of humor.









Is that anything like asking if the Hooded Hood planned this all along?
