Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Ace's defiance is a trait established in 'Ghost Light' Part 3, where she stands up to an ancient, oppressive entity like Light. In 'The Curse of Fenric,' this same assertiveness enables her to confront military authority and engage with high-stakes secrets without hesitation, showing her evolving confidence and leadership.
