FERAL ROOK FERAL ROOK FERAL ROOK
Also to those saying Vil robbed them with what became of Rook
Y'all should be thanking him for getting rid of that hair, because that shit was 100 percent damaged. You can see all the tangles and split ends, there was no saving that hair, it had to get alllll chopped off. (My dude what did you do to it, its so dead lookingggg)
It looks so much healthier now, and the same goes for his skin that he was getting sunburnt and freckles. MY GUY AT LEAST PUT ON SOME SUNSCREEN, YOUR SKIN WILL FLAKE ROOOK PLEASEEE
I fucking love this dorky ass feral dandy djdkjcnf
WAIT HIS HAIR COLOR IS BRIGHTER TOO??
Rook you nasty freak, DID YOU EVEN SHOWER??
imagining Vil giving this man a bath the very moment he steps into Pomefiore like "I'VE BEEN WANTING TO DO THIS FOR AGES"
Rook really is that feral cat you pick off the street and just clean up, and now he just lives there

The way Annabeth was thinking so far ahead of Percy that Percy was confused. The way she refused to elaborate on anything, and then was like; 'I'm surrounded by idiots' whenever someone (Percy) didn't understand her. The way she looked so smug after she pushed Percy into the water and he got claimed. THE WAY SHE WAS SO BLUNT!!!!! ("ARE YOU STALKING ME??" "yeah lol")
Sorry, but that's the most accurate Annabeth in the world holy smokes Leah did such a good job. All my forgotten love for Annabeth's character that I felt while reading the books just crashed into me full force and I'm frothing at the mouth with obsession.
“-You’re gonna expect me to know how to do something I don’t know how to do, and I end up falling flat on my face, I- I can’t really have that right now.” “You still don’t get where you fit into all of this, do you?” SHE’S TALKING ABOUT THE PROPHECY AND HOW SHE KNOWS HE'S A POSIEDON KID, BUT SHE HIDES IT AS HOW HE DOESN’T KNOW HIS PLACE IN THE CAPTURE THE FLAG GAME!!!! BECAUSE SHE WON’T TELL HIM!!!! AND ITS EPIC BECAUSE IN THE CAPTURE THE FLAG GAME HE DOES FALL FLAT ON HIS FACE, BUT IN THE PROPHECY HE DOES GET HIS DAD TO SEE HIM!!!! And then she fixes his armor plate, making sure that its secure. Making sure he won't get hurt. That's not part of her plan, and things always go according to her plan. She's the game master. IM SCREAMING

On a Doylist level, there's really no need to describe why Trent would've known to threaten Essek in particular, but I do actually think there's one notable moment he witnessed that would've done it. "Caleb, I'm scared."
Trent worked with Essek intermittently for several years, during which time Essek was, as Ludinus helpfully noted, a cold individual. If Essek's initial temperament is any indication, he would've likely been aloof, posturing, and averse to showing any weakness.
Essek's call to Caleb comes after Caleb has tried to protect them both with the counterspelled Globe of Invulnerability. This admission of fear comes from a fundamentally-changed Essek than the person Trent had worked with prior. There's a measure of trust involved in directing it to Caleb, given who is listening. It is, essentially, the primary moment of fear in this combat which acts as a precursor to the silence that Trent describes his imprisonment, and it's notable for being so.
If there was any one moment Trent may have fixated on in the process of his scheming, I would point to this as the prime candidate.

"You wear fine things well." The red shirt matching the red silk. The moon in the back being a waxing phase instead of full as they decide to take it slow and rebuild. The hand holding. I'm losing my mind

Sean is really the Candela character of all time because of how fundamentally entangled he is within not only the world but the literal mechanics of the game. He is entrenched in the cycle of violence and he has no capacity to see any escape.
And how could he? Why would he care in the end about monsters living among them, wearing human faces? There's nothing anymore monstrous about the shapeshifters than the men in that room—himself included. The only difference Sean sees between his doppelganger and those men is that the doppelganger is going to give him what he wants.
In fact, this is also the only difference he sees between himself and those men. He doesn't kill them because they did something monstrous. He kills them because in his estimation, with all of them as evidence of this belief, the only things you get in this world are the things you take for yourself. Their deaths won't bring back his brothers, or erase the things he himself did, or even really further his efforts to rescue his mother. He kills them because he wants to—if the world is inherently violent, and it is on a fundamental level, then he's going to take what he wants.
Because the violence of the world is baked into the fabric of reality, both narratively, through the Flare, which can never be defeated, only struggled against, and mechanically, through the significant odds of failure or complication. There is so little success in the world of not only Newfaire but Candela Obscura itself.
It has nothing to do with who is the biggest baddest monster. Sean's approach to violence and later betrayal is beyond the consideration of morality, because the struggles of Candela Obscura leave so little room to split hairs over morals. Survival is at stake. The organization of Candela Obscura is misguided and ineffectual not because of any inherent problems of the organization or corruption of its members, but because they are, in Sean's mind, always only making losing bets.
In Newfaire, the dice are loaded, the house is all-powerful, and humanity is the underdog. Was it any surprise that Sean Finnerty got tired of losing?
