Sly 2 - Arpeggio's Missed Opportunity

Does anyone else feel like Arpeggio was underutilized? He has an interesting backstory and motivation, but he dies so early into the final chapter and the script shifts to Neyla.

Neyla betraying him and becoming Clock-La is a great twist, but I feel like the story should have had that scene at the very end of the chapter to give Arpeggio more time as the boss who gives vaguely threatening commentary in the overworld. There should have been more time dedicated to undermining him and planning the confrontation.

It also feels overly dark to have a named character killed off after giving them a sympathetic backstory right beforehand, but that's a nitpick.

The bird-themed guards still patrolling for Neyla is a bit strange as well, though the implication could be that they just weren't aware that she usurped him.
