lol

Which the pace like it is. I wouldnt hope for more than shounen ai

I read somewhere that the second season will actually be yaoi!!!

It might be the trauma, but it'll deffo get better later on. Sis is swinging and kicking for her life tho.

Not the trauma. She normally doesn't care about other ppl. If you really read and remember all her thoughts, you'll see it. Even in the beginning, she said she never think much about her servants that she liked. She liked her brother and father and also didn't think about them when she ran away with a stranger. The only time she thought about Luciano was when she was alrdy dying from STD and didn't want her brother to die from starting a rebellion so she killed herself in front of Oscar.

Yeah she's selfish, but who did she have to teach her empathy or kindness? Or to befriend others out of sincerity? Inez is her environment and that's why she's so befuddled by Carcel's temperament. He wasn't raised the same way, even though they both grew up in the same place. I find it all interesting and realistic, because most nobles weren't kind or tried to befriend their servants.

And her family is just a household of blood-related strangers. Her mother openly ridiculed her, draping herself across Carcel, and getting drunk in front of a guest. Yet Inez was completely unbothered by her mother's antics.

And yes, I do believe her trauma is the reason she is an unreliable narrator. She only saw Luciano's expression in a dream, but she didn't remember it. And in the second life when her lover was killed, we didn't know Carcel was there until way after. I think her mind is purposely blocking out certain things because they are unpleasant, making her memory unreliable at times. It does suck though, because our view is limited to the characters pov and knowledge. It's like a mystery and we have to piece Inez memory together to understand what's happening.

She wasn't befuddled by Carcel's actions. His actions reminded her of her brother before. She had a loving brother and father that she didn't even care about when she decide to run away with a stranger bc she cared more about herself but didn't think her action could also jeopardize them. She did remember that scene with Luciano. She just don't care about other people to rly take note or understand how they rly felt so she was more angry at what he said at face value instead of understanding why he had to say it. Ines always like that. This not trauma. She only notice his expression now bc it's like someone who look back at the past and notice something else.

The reason she an unreliable narrator isn't bc of her trauma that people keep using. It's bc she is human and has biases. Even with Carcel, she kept saying he a womanizer and it just bc she keep hearing rumors about him before and believed it but only now noticed he had always loved her just bc she can see his expression now. She wasn't focus on his expression before. It's like how readers read one thing in the beginning and keep thinking that's the character. You say you don't know Carcel was there in the past to help Emiliano until way after but that's not her forgetting it. That's her not revealing it to the readers yet. In fact she had said someone helped Emiliano run away before

Ch11:
Emiliano managed to escape for a short while with the help of another person...

Ines knew who helped. She just didn't reveal his name yet. People keep making assumptions before she reveal stuff but even then her narration is unreliable bc she is bias. Like how if she say she was happy with Emiliano, they don't know she only keep thinking she was happy bc she feel guilty to him not bc she was rly happy or when she keep saying Carcel is a womanizer but didn't even know him or why he was labelled as womanizer or how she mad at her family but didn't see their side. Her family is stranger to readers not her, so people who keep blaming her family should know that they don't even know what she knows about her family. You people keep talking as if her family's the villain here when they're not. She knows they're not. Even seeing comments about hating her brother. You don't know that she still loves her brother.

10 seconds later, he's like I won't stop no matter what. But he's pretty wasted, so who knows what he's actually thinking...
