The bonding between Will & Wignall was great. We see that there are many similarities between Will & Wignall and their goals. Childhood friend that became a Magia Vander that they want to catch up to. Though Wignall had it worse in all honestly when you consider Will has had Rosti, Workner and the Dwarfs.
To even add the point, Will has been watching Wignall bust his butt off. That is how you can really tell that these two share a similar goal. Will's remark it is ok to make mistakes. We learn the most from our errors.
Lihanna's point of them being leftovers probably hit home since she was in the same year as Elfie. She is called Ms. Perfect, but there is someone who already reached a goal she set out for herself. Also to not blame herself for getting everything in this situation.
You could also see the effect that Will has had on Colette & Sion. Despite being hard on herself, Colette gave a pep talk to Lihanna to not doubt and blame herself. While for Sion, his instincts of using anything at his disposal and used more of his instincts. Compared to Julius who was still using search even though relying on it partially got them in this mess.
Excited to see how they animate the big fight next week.
