Character reactions and not surprising with the Aishi not being a threat.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** Jack, while acknowledging that he didn't have a choice in killing the Daughters, is still a little shaken with remorse after having to kill them.
** Ashi isn't much of a threat without her sisters and effect of surprise since without it she is roughly a young adult with a black belt in karate against monsters and a seasoned warrior.
** As shown with the reactions of Scaramouche and Ashi, constantly talking to yourself (albeit Jack was hallucinating) can be interpreted as strange or crazy at worst. Just ask Jack.
** Ashi has been brainwashed from birth to hate and kill Jack. Just because he saves her life more than a few times and verbally counters every argument she can raise against him, doesn't make her any less inclined to hate him. In the end, she ''still'' intends to kill him until he happens to commit an act of goodness that not only contradicts ''everything'' Ashi has been taught, but happens to harken back to one of her personal childhood traumas. And even then, she only relents at killing him for the time being as far as is shown.

* FriendToAllLivingThings: A ladybug lands on Jack's hand. He lets it walk along and fly off, smiling a little as it departs. This surprises Ashi, who had remembered the High Priestess dismissing such creatures as worthless distractions and casually squashing one.

Added DiffLines:
* ShuttingUpNow: While removing the pins, Jack at least tries to make some small talk. Ashi sports a constant DeathGlare, prompting him to drop the idea.

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: In the grand scheme of things, the High Priestess killing the ladybug during her daughters' childhood is the reason Ashi spares Jack by the end of this episode. Compared to Jack (who himself spared a ladybug), it made Ashi conflicted as to whose side she was on ''if her enemy recognized how precious life was''.
