Usually fridging is reserved for characters who aren't much characters in their own right. Main characters dying is just like.. stuff that happens in plot. You fridge someone's otherwise unimportant girlfriend or other female character with no agency. Cio's a character. That being said I don't have any reason to believe she'd be dying anyway so :shrug:

Edit: Also there's plenty of other reasons why people might not like the end of this chapter. For one, Zaid's involved right now and I don't think anyone likes him very much outside of rescuing him is currently Allison's goal. Who knows. Maybe he'll make Allison slip into her old self a little. Maybe she'll do something stupid like ACTUALLY give that loser the key, or doubt herself upon meeting a reminder of her old life.

What is with y'all and predicting that Abaddon is going to fridge Cio?

Mask shattered, maybe; but fridged for good, no. Cio's been around since the beginning, so I'd expect she'll be around until the end.

On the other hand, Cio's already survived having her mask broken once, although she arguably wasn't yet Cio when it happened. With Cio's current character arc focusing on discovering or settling her identity in some way, I could see her mask breaking as the logical conclusion of that arc, where she gets to well and truly define who she wants to be. But if Abbadon had Cio in mind as a major actor since the very beginning, there's no way she won't be there to the end.

Or maybe the dreaded thing that might happen is that the possession is semi-permanent so Cio will be stuck with Allison's body and lose her own, which will suck because we won't get to enjoy her fashion choices.

Cio is the least likely to die of all of them.

She’s noted in future history as the super annoying chronicler of the Rising King, and historians hate her. She’s going to be around all through the story.

My money’s on us hating the ending because Allison’s going to skip out on fighting Solomon in some fashion. Reach heaven through sequence breaking,

"We're going to hate it" because Solomon is bypassed entirely for [reasons] and the assumed clash never happens.

Is my guess. Not saying this is backed up by anything but wild guessing.

Maybe it will be a break with the semi-established chapter structure of Alison meeting a demiurge and severly disrupting the established order through furious dumbassery; Salami Dave will just clown on Alison and remain completely unperturbed while doing it. Him coming out completly unscathed from their confrontation would be something most people would hate.

quote:

“During the Universal war, it was theorized that placing an intact devil mask upon a living human, still containing some of that devil’s essence, could create a fused being – a devilskin warrior. The human would benefit from the devil as a sort of armor, the devil from the direct access to the human soul flame. Such a warrior could be pushed far beyond the limits of both devil and man, employing the strengths of both, and could eventually rival the demiurges in sheer power.

In practice, many attempts were made at creating such warriors, but in almost all cases, the human ended up mentally rejecting the devil, or the devil ended up quickly subsuming its host and burning out. Two powerful beings sharing the same flesh – one can only imagine the clash of egos that would take place, or the sheer mental control to fight with such a powerful body. The few that did survive became terrors on the battlefield but did not survive the war.

so uh what if that warrior is kinda their own girlfriend and also happens to have the Key of Kings? that's probably pretty good for the ol' power level

Intersting note in the blog post below - has a direct explanation for Preem Nand's daughters:

“During the Universal war, it was theorized that placing an intact devil mask upon a living human, still containing some of that devil’s essence, could create a fused being – a devilskin warrior. The human would benefit from the devil as a sort of armor, the devil from the direct access to the human soul flame. Such a warrior could be pushed far beyond the limits of both devil and man, employing the strengths of both, and could eventually rival the demiurges in sheer power.

In practice, many attempts were made at creating such warriors, but in almost all cases, the human ended up mentally rejecting the devil, or the devil ended up quickly subsuming its host and burning out. Two powerful beings sharing the same flesh – one can only imagine the clash of egos that would take place, or the sheer mental control to fight with such a powerful body. The few that did survive became terrors on the battlefield but did not survive the war.

The practice still persists among devilkind in a more degenerate form, with the creation of ‘hollows’. Well-connected devils will go to great lengths to kidnap human chattel, which are ritualistically ‘hollowed’ out, personality and face alike, their life force preserve through arcane means until the devil may possess them at its leisure, without any inconvenience.

Both rituals are abhorrent in any case. Though I do wonder if any extant records of the practice exist…”
