Canas attitude towards Elfman was refreshing. It added tension and set the tone of the atmosphere as opposed to all the Fairies just standing around looking all worried. Also, it seems Cana mightve noticed Elfman isn't his usual self so it just gives us, the readers, something to look forward to <3

If this was Jellals death, it would be too abrupt and poorly written, so I think this whole conflict will concluded with the OS assisting the protagonists, because otherwise, they would be irrelevant to the arc
