Ok peeps, agruments aside, do you guys think that costia may have been the 8th afficiate and thats why lexa refuses to talk about that afficiate? also, if so, how would they have bent the rules to do this? i mean lexa wasnt commander yet during the conclave and costia is a grounder so she wouldve followed their ules (i guess)? is it possible to resing from being an afficiate (liek choose not to try to take on the position as commander and just leave)? Also does this mean that the commander is chosen from the nattbleeda by having them fight each other, not using the AI (as when saying aiden will most likely take over, it is clear he is the best fighter and they explicitly state that the other nattbleeda died)? Bringing on another question: do the other nattbleeda/afficiates die because it is whoever doesnt die wins, or by the AI choosing and the others being killed to not threaten the position as nattbleeda (we have not yet met any older nattbleeda, except ontari, who was hiddenaway despite traditions)?

sorry for all the questions im just curious (also if anyone has any theories for other things please write)
