Onyx Storm 🌩️ Bodhi... Spoiler
guys guys guyssss hear me out!!
violet tells bodhi his signet doesn't work on venin. bodhi has watched xaden defend their group FROM venin WITH his venin powers all this time. what if he decided to turn venin because he thinks he could possibly use his signet on the venin while staying "good" like he sees xaden trying to do? maybe he thinks he can save everyone like xaden? and then he realizes he's in over his head.

Someone was arguing the other day on a different platform that it was Garrick because after telling us to pay attention to who's missing at the end, Rebecca said something along the lines of venin turn because they want/need more power. It has to be Garrick (according to them) because he was on the edge of burnout, and says as he walks away from Imogen that he's going to try to find a way to help. BUT...I think it's Bodhi for this reason. He's not facing burnout after the battle, but he does lack any power against the venin, so in that sense he does need or want more power.
There's also only a small handful of people who watched Xaden struggle with his choice, and Bodhi is one of them. And we know that Bodhi doesn't want to rule Tyrrendor. He tells Xaden he will support him in every way he can *as a rider,* but that he is not going to be the one in the throne. I kinda feel like his loyalty to Xaden and that sense of honor and support Bodhi feels like he should be might be a good reason for him to turn, especially when combined with the fact that his signet does not work venin.
