I like how it’s confirmed that Sara can fake cry back in 2-1. This seems like a joke interaction on a first playthrough, but then the game continues, and you see this:
No one would think the empathetic Sara would fake cry over Shin’s corpse, but the stones have been laid since the start.

nikolai knowing fyodor's weakness without realizing it is a weakness.. fyodor doesn't have "allies" he has pawns. nikolai himself isn't even an ally. fyodor doesn't trust anything he can't manipulate. nikolai knows this, but he doesn't see it as a fatal flaw here. it's almost a joke. haha fyodor has servants instead of allies. hahaha if he'd asked you to pilot the helicopter instead of the vampire, maybe he would have won. haha. ha .

[sees moots reblog nice headcanons, cracks knuckles]
Astarion: *beating up some rude noble in his dungeon*
Loki: *walks in on him* What's happening?
Astarion: Darling, he dared to insult you by breathing in your direction. I am simply enacting justice on your behalf.
Loki: Surely we could've put him to use? Beating up patriars seems counter-productive.. But I suppose entertainment works.
Loki: And you didn't invite me to watch? Adorable.
Astarion: *looks like he's doing a big think* Oh, my. Well of course-
Loki: If you want to beat up someone for me, don't do it behind my back, your sneakiness is making me feel left out. But it's kind of hot.
Astarion: Of course my sweet~ *grins*
The opposite is true
Context: Loki has avoided public appearances and keeps a low profile during events. The servants don't actually know what he looks like during this time. They're wearing masks during these parties.
Loki: *minding his business, checking out the buffet for the vampire party theyre hosting*
*some random vampire spawn walks up to him, she's dressed very well, implying she's probably one of her master's favorites*
Spawn: I heard rumors that lord Astarion is brideless! But this simply can't be true-
Loki: Brideless? Why would he have need for-
Spawn: You must be new to his court, I've been to his parties before, he always sits alone. A lord of his stature surely must have need for a consort yes?
Loki: You're the chatty type, aren't you? Well, indulge me. *sips his drink*
Spawn: *whispers* They say he has locked up a maiden in his bedchambers, which is why the door is always locked shut! They call her the Dark Consort.
Loki: Interesting gossip! Wherever did you get this?
Spawn: I've made a few friends with other lord's spawn, but the servants in this place have never seen this famed dark consort. Do you think it could be a lie?
Loki: Hmm, perhaps no one has seen her because it's not even a her.
Spawn: Well, that would explain some things..
Loki: *observes how she stares at Astarion*
Loki: And you're hoping he could steal you away from your master? If he is indeed brideless-
Spawn: Why- You must recognize the quality of my charm- I am merely testing you- I haven't properly introduced myself.. *whispers* I am a future bride of his, you see. The dark consort-
Loki: *fakes-miles as he feels a sting in his arm* Oh.. Wow. That's.. I am speechless!
Spawn: *convinced he believes her lie, smiles*
Loki: I suppose I simply have to ask him about it-
Spawn: *Surprised* Wait, What? You can't do that- it's a secret! You can keep a secret, right?
Loki: *already walks off, in Astarion's direction, who immediately perks up when he sees him*
Spawn: *tries to stop him then hides in the crowd*
Loki: *watches in the corner of his eye the girl's reaction when Astarion grabs hold of his arm and introduces him as the dark consort to the lords he was talking to*
*she gives up and disappears to go find someone else to gossip to, embarrassed*
Loki: *whispers in Astarion's ear*
Astarion: Interesting. And you didn't gut her? You have more restraint than me.
Loki: I'm not going to gut people during the party. That would be rude.
Astarion: ...Darling.
Loki: What? You're brideless. I have to protect your chastity.
Astarion: My handsome virgin groom, you are being cheeky.
Loki: You've been inside me.
Astarion: Your blood doesn't lie.
Loki: Okay, I changed my mind, I'm going to gut her right now to make a point.
Astarion: You are.. So cute.
Que the bloodbath that follows because apparently the girl has a gossip group of people that were thirsting for Astarion.
And now Loki eagerly kills guests even though he's usually the voice of reason and negotiation... ''Don't sour the mood'' but nope, he gets unhinged.
Quickly party goers learn not to upset the groom because he's not meek at all and Astarion has his back at all times. Astarion waits it out until after the party and Loki just wants to see blood immediately.
Vampire lord parties are pretty much hissy fits. Meowzers.
They're very possessive over each other.

theres some heavy foreshadowing between Gregory and Evan in chapter 10. I've been sprinkling foreshadowing around the story for a while now so if you've noticed something maybe you found some ;)
