I should not need to explain this one.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

! when Nemik dies. I know Cassian is the Reluctant Hero™. I know he'll need a catalyst to galvanize his will and purpose. As soon as Nemik came on screen with his fresh face and youthful enthusiasm I thought "yeah he dies by the end of ACT II, and Cassian will be so moved by his sacrifice he'll become a rebel". But he died and Cassian was all "Yeah that sucks. Gonna take my money and bail." !<
