Week 23- Wait, WHO died??

So one thing I forgot to mention last week was my suspicions of Tyrus, the insane nephew of the emperor. Turns out he's only pretending to be crazy in order to prevent being killed like the rest of his family was. What I didn't expect, or even believe at first, was the emperor killing all the families who didn't agree with his ideas, including the family who owned Nemesis. I was honestly surprised, since it posed the same plot hole as before: if Nemesis' owner, Sidonia, is her only source of motivation due to her being a Diabolic, her character should stagnate. It didn't make any sense considering her drive and personality. But then I realized my original theory: that Diabolics were more human than everyone was letting her believe, and that she could have more motivations than Sidonia's well-being if she was allowed some freedom to grow as a character. Now her motivation is still linked to Sidonia, in assassinating the emperor who killed her, but she also decided to work together with Tyrus for the good of the universe rather than soley the revenge on Sidonia. Plus, her trust in the dog Deadly and compassion for another creature who was abused and forced to fight shows how human she is. And besides that, she's showing genuine affection towards Neveni, who is not only below her in presumed rank but expresses the very views that got Nemesis' family killed. That means she's genuinely friends with Neveni, and not because she thinks being friends with Neveni to progress her revenge. So basically, I was right about Nemesis having real emotions and character, since she's clearly growing as a character and finding different motivations.
I understand it from a "future civilization" kind of thing, but the one thing that makes me kind of uncomfortable is all the sex talk. There's, like, a lot. And Nemesis almost got raped. And Neveni did get raped, although she doesn't remember it. It kind of makes sense considering that the people are also more liberal about drugs, but I wasn't really expecting it is all.
As for how this assassination plot will turn out, I'll have to let you know.
