Noshir during the first 2/3 of Downfall: Playing low INT character for laughs, but also uses his habit of repeating others' words in meaningful ways, both bringing lightheartedness to the group and accidentally (?) highlighting and reminding us of recurrent themes in the work as a whole

Noshir during the last 1/3 of Downfall: "I'm scared", referring to The Emissary as the Lawbearer's son, USING A CHILD'S VOICE AS THE EMISSARY ENTERS DEATH'S DOMAIN
In book canon, Blood and Cheese slip inside Alicent's chambers, strangle her bedmaid, tie her up and gag her so that she can't scream. They wait for Helaena to come inside because they knew it was part of her routine to bid her mother goodnight before she went to bed. Imagine how scared, how helpless Alicent must have felt, knowing two wicked and dangerous men were waiting for her daughter and grandchildren, not knowing yet knowing exactly why all of that was happening, and not being able to do anything to warn or protect her baby girl.
