Here’s a fun twist: while Mercury’s main theme was how people don’t always get what they deserve, and how sometimes that means radical forgiveness, Sea of Lost Souls approaches forgiveness from a different perspective. Namely, how you can’t force it. What Jill did in the epilogue of Mercury was a choice she’d made when she was ready to make it. What if she had felt forced to make that choice? 

Rachel Goldstein has a tale to tell about that.
