Love the essay, it brought back to me good memories of a game I loved playing ^_^. But, there is a part that perplexes me:
Domino is running a coral mining operation using all the souls tricked out of their Double-N tickets as workers Domino's told her "the whole story" about Manny and how he stole her case, and for that, she seems to hate him (although some of her anger is justified; he did steal her case, after all)
Why should her anger be justified? We have seen that the souls who deserved the tickets and were handed to Domino, eventually ended up working in the mine as Domino's slaves. So, even if Manny hadn't stolen her case, she would have ended up like that anyway. It wasn't really Manny's fault, all he did was delaying her capture by one year, which she had spent trying to get to Rubacava. After all, spending one year walking to get to Rubacava is better than spending it as Domino's slave, so Manny did her a favor.
