Fridge Brilliance

• Lute being able to open Pandora's Box without getting killed by Reaper. How? Well, apart from Lute's genuinely heroic/pure (though pervy) nature... It's hinted that Pandora's Box is actually a demon relic that only the King of Demons can open. In other words: Only an incubus or shall we say half-incubus. Can do it.
• Lute getting Queen Aphrodia to lift the ban and high import taxes on bras being imported so easily. How? Simple. SHE'S A WOMAN THAT NEEDED ONE!
  • In fact, when they first meet with her in Fronce, Lute presents her with several bras as gifts, but Marquis Cuvier tries to say that they must be confiscated to coincide with the ban on selling bras. Aphrodia instantly stops him by pointing out that these weren't merchandise, but gifts, therefore it was allowed. Some 10-20 minutes later, Aphrodia tells her subordinates to lift the ban, resolving the issue in a matter of minutes. Well played, Lute!
• On 2 separate occasions, Cardinal Canossa tries to say that Lute's marriage to Shamsiel is the cause of misfortune to his people and kingdom. Even using scripture to justify his view. Which Lute promptly throws right back in his face both times. The first instance, Lute remarks how God teaches acceptance of those who have made mistakes in the past and those who are different. There's even a fitting reference to Mary Magdelin's story as a former prostitute that decided to follow the path of God, and that if the Cardinal condemned Shamsiel, Emeralia, or anyone simply for their pasts, then he would be implying that all forms of penance is futile. This shuts up Canossa pretty fast, and even Cardinal Fango thought Lute's words were spot on.

Fridge Horror

• What actually DOES Saint Reaper mean when he says he'll "devour one's soul"? A very chilling thought.
• For that matter, how DOES a succubus kill someone? Sure, they give us a few hints toward the likely manner, but really think about it... The victims of the succubi (fake or real) are left, described as "shriveled up piles of just skin and bone" does that mean a succubus drains the fluids from a victim completely or is it even worse? Which is to say, do they suck out the victims insides too?
• The life of the fake succubi (there's 2 of them). Each of them is a spiritual entity that was captured and contained inside of a magic jar, and they exist only to follow orders of whoever opens the jars, despite showing signs of free will. Even if they manage to break free of their jars on their own, they still operate only under the guidance of the last order given to them, which could mean they're forced to harm and kill innocent people whether they actually want to or not. Perhaps the worst part for them is that one of them ends up simply disappearing... Whether that meant she died or not is left unknown. While the other gets her soul (YES, these beings DO have their own souls) taken and consumed by Saint Reaper... Perhaps an even more chilling thought is that when Reaper had appeared and looked around the room that was full of people, ghouls, and the fake succubus, he said he would devour any corrupted soul, but when he says that, he wasn't talking about the fake succubus or the ghouls. He was looking at Cardinal Canossa. Which is to say, the fake succubus and ghouls were NOT the most evil ones in the room, despite all things they did, but THEY were the ones who got their souls devoured.
• Also consider the life of the Wraith. Summoned/born to fulfill one objective: drive people to suicide. If it fails? It itself dies.

Fridge Logic

• The soldiers in Vunderbalt were able to recognize the fake succubus as an imposter instead of the real Shamsiel sooner than anyone else, because for the past several weeks to perhaps months, they'd been working directly under the supervision of the REAL Shamsiel, so they know her personally.
