I am glad! I probably wasn't as articulate as I hoped, due to many, many cold medicines - but I wanted to bring it up. Writers so often use women's deaths to spur a positive, or at least defining change in the lives of their main characters. (Helping them make a choice to fight/investigate/whatever if they are heroes; providing an excuse/convenient backstory for villains.) This was just something that was, and it wasn't even the main point of Abigail's character - it was that she loved the fish (IN THE SKY), and even though she was willing to freeze her last few days to help out her family in a bad situation, she wanted to live the rest of her life to the fullest she could. Which is pretty awesome.

/Ramble.
