Hoo boy. A staple, but a nasty spell nonetheless. I guess the trigger warning is appreciated, but wouldn't the gaslighting and abuse from Gaspal and all that have crossed the line by now anyway?
Anyway, we finally get a good peek into Claude's head. Yeah, I can see why Ivona wormed her way into his heart so quickly, as well as why he probably had a hard time getting married. That was...unfortunate by all accounts, but a believable background.
And now, we're gonna get a heart to heart, and I love that.
Ivona: Seeing this won't hurt me. Instead, I'm even more determined.
Me: Oh thank god.
Claude: *wakes up in bed as a bruised and bandaged child* Oh...mother...
Me: OH DEAR GOD.
