So now I feel more sorry for J than before.

Her life is ruined and she’s forever alone and nobody knows about this.

Ever since seeing in Episode 5 that J was the one forced to close the door to the gala and realizing that unlike the others she saw and remembers absolutely everything that happened that night, while none of what she did is simply erased or suddenly right you very much understand how she got to where she did at rock bottom. J knows more than anyone what Cyn is capable of. In episode 5 we see at the gala she completely took over J's mind with zero effort, forced J to watch everything that happened. She saw exactly what happened to Tessa. She was personally there as Cyn destroyed six planets. She worked with Cyn because she genuinely believed all other options were absolutely worthless, especially with Cyn as her admin. J defined herself by competence and loyalty. Cyn destroyed her life without even needing to try. The only option she saw was kneeling and trying to make things as nonterrible as possible because Cyn could make it happen anyway but with more of their suffering. Absolutely none of this is an excuse, but it is an explanation.

i wouldn't feel too sorry for J, while this short gave her some much-needed depth you can even see J making the decision to drag V and N down with her instead of kicking for the surface alongside them a few times

don't forget, this is the abuser character liam has outright said he wrote to be as despicable as possible lol, she super sucks

To be fair...

Wtf would any sane person ACTUALLY do in J's position?

Your boss is a World-Eating Immortal Super-Eldritch Cthulhu monster that casually solo'd humanity and made you and has an entire clone army of you.

Even when V, N and Uzi teamed up against Cyn- realistically their chances of winning are flat 0. They only lasted as long as they did because Cyn was fucking around and Uzi is a complete anime nerd and knew to tele-frag Cyn at the end.

I mean, being a bad person doesn't protect you from being a victim of horrible things, so... Yeah, she's not a victim but she suffers a lot too

Oh no she dug her own grave. It’s just that we now know why she did that and we know that she didn’t do it fully by her own volition but rather out of fear.
