castmates for apochow are the same as always basically, though i think any castmate would have the potential to be interesting just based on the way aelwyn has changed and well. gotten better in certain ways and gotten far far worse in others.

like if she were reunited with adaine, she'd be able to love her without complication and would choose her over everyone and everything (except mercy). she has also gone from a reluctant villain with a mean streak to an eldritch monster of pain and loss with enough megalomania and hubris to make karsus, gale and arthur aguefort all be like "calm down maybe"

so any of the bad kids coming from the end of s2 where shes calmed down and coming back to this creature would be very funny.

(and tragic as fuck)

but that's all very hypothetical

for satoko, any of the games club would be beloved.

but i think specifically rika or shion would be really great for her. i need to get her memories sorted but satoko DID remember shion murdering her, and then forgot it after her double killed her, so they could have a much more stable sibling progression. also i think the idea of satoko being older than keiichi (nii-nii) and shion (nee-nee) is very funny
