Been watching Blast of Tempest and Aika seems like textbook haunting the narrative. She's dead before the story even begins. Technically she's not the only main character that's true of, but that's different.
"haunting the narrative" is one of those phrases i wanna put up on a shelf. not all characters that are dead haunt the narrative. not all characters that are dead haunt the narrative. not all characters that haunt the narrative are dead.

Just because it's illogical doesn't mean it's wrong.
