Thank you very much for your comment! I'm glad to hear you're enjoying Claire's interactions in Discedo. I'm always eager to hear people's opinions/thoughts/criticisms of his portrayal, especially since -- as you mentioned -- he is an incredibly complicated character.

With regard to your concerns about his death in Discedo recently, all I can add to what you've said is that Denmark is an incredibly, almost abnormally, strong character. Also, I think it's reasonable to assume that Claire's strength is lessened in Discedo due to the chip that all characters have implanted in their bodies. When we combined these two factors, we felt like the outcome of the fight was as realistic as possible. I admit that it's hard for me to really gauge what I believe the extent of Claire's physical strength to be, partially because there doesn't seem to be any extraordinary reasoning behind it -- just that he's significantly stronger and faster than the average human.

I'll definitely need to work on playing this out realistically in his current setting and if you ever see any further instances where this might be in contrast to canon information, I would welcome hearing from you again! Thanks so much for taking time to write this comment and for your insights!
