In tropes, The Dragon is the right-hand of the boss. From everything we've seen in 2.8 and going forward, it seems we have a high chance of seeing Zhao because she serves as the second to the enigmatic boss of Krampus, and even when the boss finally reveals herself I imagine Zhao will be close at hand every time. Zhao has an easier time worming her way into Krampus PVs, like Promeia's, while Banyue will likely never be seen again simply because he wouldn't be attending those boardroom meetings.

I'm sure eventually Zhao will fade away like most agents after their story, but as long as Krampus remains relevant in the plot, Zhao will remain relevant in the plot. I believe wholeheartedly she will have a role to play in season three.

At the end of the 2.8 storyline, Promeia doesn't even say goodbye to the proxy. She just leaves a note, saying "don't trust TOPS, don't trust Krampus and don't trust me". Okay. Then the proxy immediately texts them like they're besties and they hang out and are talking super casually like they're old friends.

I get that when we pull for agents, it's meant to be a contract. A formal commitment on their part to work with the proxies. But is that enough for the hangouts to feel earned and the friendships to feel real? After 2.8 when Promeia is still piecing together her feelings I don't know if she'd immediately go hang out with the proxy and do a flower arrangement.

I started playing in 2.0 but this is honestly the first time the hangout ever felt weird to me. Because most characters become the proxies friend during and after the chapter and I don't feel like that happened with Promeia.

Everyone was convinced that Bunny in Wonderland was Norma's set, since they never release sets for old agents and that the discs are colored like Norma and she's rabbit themed too. Bah. Zhao deserved a set all for her and she got exactly that.
