So Fenimore is getting canon-updated to after her death (which is to say: three minutes after her current canon point). It'll happen overnight one night before this goes down so there's no general moment of "WELP THERE SHE GOES" at least for poor Sophie. If anyone wants to have a moment of WELP then it can be arranged so they'll notice before she gets back, but otherwise people will find out only when the next day she looks younger and (a centimeter) shorter. She will have weirdly mixed feelings on dying since, on the bright side, it frees her up since she wouldn't really be able to properly go back home anyway but she wouldn't be able to go anywhere else if she didn't get that done first.
I have a somewhat distressing number of options for Fenimore's trial, but I'm likely going to settle on survivor's guilt. She'll probably succeed even if she does it alone, but I'm hoping to do it with a partner. Current plan is to put her back during the events when her village was destroyed or when the villagers were imprisoned thereafter with the opportunity to try to fix it with unlimited retries, but rigged so that she'll fail no matter what anyone tries. The goal is more or less to have her accept that sometimes bad things happen that you can't stop and that she shouldn't feel guilty that she was the only one to survive. I may also throw in a Persona-4-style element to it as well. We'll see.
After the trial, she'll be taking Rei up on her offer to go back with her, which she can do now that she's dead back on Melfes and there's no option to go back there alive.
I'm going to try to tag around more than I have been for the endgame, so I'm very open for threads around these and other wrapping up stuff. It's kind of surreal that the game is ending but I want to do the ending justice.
