### Summary
The premature dragon rampage has escalated into a life-or-death crisis, with Lieutenant Desian now gravely injured and on the brink of death. This development has intensified the ongoing debate surrounding Judith's character. Her initial instinct to flee, prioritizing personal safety over her duty, continues to sharply divide the audience. Many readers express frustration, labeling her actions as a cowardly regression that directly endangers her comrades. Conversely, a significant portion defends her response as a realistic and humanizing portrayal of her deep-seated trauma and fear of loss, arguing that her internal conflict adds depth to her journey. Captain Kaillou's role has also drawn attention; readers perceive that he knowingly gave Judith an opportunity to escape the battlefield, a selfless act intended to protect her. However, this decision is also criticized as poor leadership that contributes to the catastrophic situation. Amidst the high tension and anxiety over Desian's fate, there is a strong underlying expectation that Judith will overcome her fear and return to save him. This pivotal moment forces Judith to confront the consequences of her inaction, while some readers also voice impatience over unresolved plot points like her divine "stigma."
