However, if you want to look at it in a positive light, the prison where Slaine is being kept looks more like a confinement. With good behaviour and with some strings pulled by either Inaho or Asseylum, Slaine can find a new path in life. The episode 24.5 that they showed on Aldnoah extra day suggests that Asseylum still cares and even thinks Slaine is a noble fallen bird, but he can learn to fly again, if given the time. Slaine also seems to be past his suicidal tendencies and is trying to "live" again, which gives me hope for his future. If anyone deserves a second chance at life, it's Slaine. He could have let his harships turn him bitter and distrustful, but his interactions with Harklight, Lemrina,and Edelrittuo shows that he is still the kind person deep down. He was just more willing to do what was necessary to achieve his goals. Will the road be easy from this point forward? No, it's never easy, but if anyone has the strength to carry on, it's Slaine. I truly do hope that we can see how his path to redemption bear fruit sometime down the road in a sequel or OVA. :)
