But then, see, if she's not faking, what ZYL expected to happen? Did he know that grazing her neck with a dark energy bullet would knock her unconscious? (How?) Or did he expect her to play along? And either way, it's SUCH a risky shot to take, vis-a-vis arteries. (Now I want him to have ongoing freakouts where he dreams about missing and actually killing her. :-p)

No one goes to check on her after Zhu Jiu runs away either, and when she says, "How dare you shoot me?" he doesn't even react!!

(I realise I'm focusing on entirely the wrong aspect of the scene here. Sorry! I will come back and have thoughts about the rest of the post soon.)
