Did Yvette have to know about Mariam's involvement? I didn't see the actual text, but there was no need to tell her everything when she had one set role to play.

If Mariam was involved in the plan, then her defecting as a double agent and going off to the Lucifenian side would be like "hitting two birds with one stone" if you will. But yeah, that makes little sense if she wasn't taking an active role in the plan.

Alternatively, perhaps it was never flat-out mentioned that Mariam was going to provide a reason to halt troops, but her mother nonetheless knew and acted accordingly. But that would also have been mentioned, I suppose.

And about Mariam and her mother, yes, her mother's involvement with IR might imply mommy issues, but at the same time, Mariam was a general at nine. Even if it was considered acceptable back then, the damage of being a child soldier is pretty great, and if she attained that rank at nine, I don't want to think about how old she was when she was enrolled in the military. :^/
