You remember what happened ago and was super-rad? When TIM, who was always kind of a goofball, just showed up in Dominion and crippled Greg. He wasn't an archmage or anything, but Greg was all "Dohoho I'm the best" and then he didn't get beaten, he got humiliated. Also: lots and lots of people died. Celesto, who's supposedly Dominic's opposing number, got knocked down enough to be captured by the king's men. Remember that? Remember that encounter?
Let's compare that to what's happening right now, which is a guy who isn't supposed to be a goofball, but a player of some consequence, is just being completely outclassed by Luna.

Now, on the other hand, if the Friday cliffhanger has the bug turn around and throw a knife right into Luna's unspeakable face, in a callback to this, well. That would be grand.
