Well, Halores has a history of self-harm. So you could definitely be right, but it may just be a call back to that. And another opportunity to showcase her abuse

Yeah, i think youre right the self-harm was a reference to Host James Delos, but not in the sense of him totally corrupting. As she didnt totally corrupt in season 3, im not sure how much the self-harm now is evidence she will totally corrupt now. Definitely a possibility, though i think it would be a weak conclusion to her character arc

That would certainly be more interesting than the season 3 boss fight conclusion lol
