Thoughts about Millia's strife
Looking back at Last Exile Ginyoku no Fam anime in retrospective makes me think a lot about Millia in a way I didn't really had the time to focus on while watching the series because I was just too focused on the emotions I had in the immediate. She's in my opinion that character that changed the most over the course of the series and also feels like the most tragic one.
Not simply because of the events that happened (there's surely plenty of other tragedies in the series), but about the fact that she was just thrown around by the people around her. She never asked for any of this! It's not like Liliana that actively moved to join the other party trying to achieve her vision. It's not like Luscinia that had his plan of vengeance over the death of her loved ruler. It's not even like Fam or Giselle as they both jumped in the story of their own volition when they had the chance to stay away from it.
Millia was just there and her entire life went crashing on her, the destruction of her homeland, the death of her father, the separation from her sister and many many more. Yet after a brief moment of grief, she stood there and tried to do the best for the people around her.
I wonder what happened in the aftermath of the story, was she able to find love? Has her grief for the loss of her family subsided over time? I would definitely read a small story just talking of an aftermath set in the far future showing what happened to them...
