I'm at the end of Chapter 19 in Thracia 776, which I understand is the last escape chapter before the Gaiden that requires me to have let someone get captured to access it. I was thinking of leaving MIranda behind to teach her a lesson for being so rude to me when I rescued her the first time. I used her to recruit Conomer this chapter already. I won't miss anything by putting her in time-out for a few maps, will I? If she's needed for something, my next choice would be Shiva, and if he's needed for something, I've got other possible candidates, but Miranda is my first choice.
