The way that the Tristan Platoon grieves over Jade’s death says a lot about them as characters.

A majority of the characters show sadness over Jade’s death but Chion is different. Chion is sad over his best friend’s death but more than anything he’s angry.

This is the second stage of grief, anger.

Chion has expressed anger towards many people for Jade’s death. He wants someone to blame; someone to punish. He wants to regain control of the situation. He couldn’t save his friend but he can punish those he deems responsible for his death.

In doing this Chion is trying to avoid the third stage of grief, depression. That’s why it’s easy for him to lash out at others. That’s why he tries to rationalize Jade’s death. He tells himself he doesn’t have to be sad. His friend’s death wasn’t in vain; it meant something.

Isolde has been deeply impacted by Jade’s death.

Jade is someone who she cared for dearly, someone who she’s known for practically her whole life. And now he’s been taking away from her so suddenly.

Not only that but she witnessed Jade’s death too. She was right behind him when she saw the fate that awaited her be given to Jade. Isolde knows that if he hadn’t jumped in front of her the one who died would’ve been her.

And she couldn’t do anything.

This isn’t the first time something like this has happened to Isolde either.

First it was during the battle against Melagaland. When she got hurt Tristan came to her rescue but things took a turn once Arthur showed up. Tristan almost died and Isolde was the one who put him in that position.

Isolde is strong but she can be reckless too and unintentionally endangers the people she cares about. Her duty as a holy knight is to protect people, not endanger them. It’s at times like this where she feels like she’s failed as a holy knight.

Now she has to live with the fact that her friend died for her.

There’s a lot of blame that can be passed around when it comes to the subject of Jade’s death. But one thing is clear, Io is the one who ties everything together. From luring Tristan away from the group, to using her magic to hide everyone’s location, in turn unintentionally helping the knights of chaos.

But despite this the one who Tristan blames is himself.

This is because of how Tristan himself handled the situation with Io. There were plenty of different ways that he could’ve dealt with her and Tristan decided to isolate himself, exactly like Io wanted.

From Tristan’s perspective it was the decisions that he made that caused Jade’s death.

Tristan is under a lot of pressure. He’s the prince of liones and a knight of prophecy. There are certain things that people expect from him. Tristan wants to meet these expectations; to exceed them. He wants people to put their trust in him, to believe in him.

Now Tristan has failed his friend. Jade is dead and the responsibility falls on him.

But no matter who they want to blame they all miss their friend dearly.
