I suppose I could understand if Jocelyn gave those children more increasingly sadistic directions about torturing Michonne and Daryl, but was that actually the case?
Also, were Michonne and Daryl ever going to be released, which would have possibly added further relevance to the brandings’ permanence?
Was the X shape even important at all, or was it just the first branding iron these people came across?
Okay, so what was actually up with Jocelyn and her underage warriors?
