@Renrue Totally agree. I think, I don't consider it incest or anything, since they truly aren't blood related. That was the main struggle in the beginning, Hari, a stranger, was taken in by the Ernsts, and grew up in the same household as the brothers. Some ppl mention it can be like childhood friends (another scenario: parents of a girl dies, parents of boy was their friends so they take girl to live with them since she no longer has parents, they fall in love, it's fine). However, my issue was that I thought the intention was for Hari to be accepted as a sister. True, she shouldn't be a replacement for the dead one, but iirc there was a scene where Eugene was like "yeah, you're not our dead sister, but you're still you and a part of our family". Even when chasing out the evil aunt, Eugene says that Hari is his sister, of course she's an Ernst. The concept revolves around accepting her as family so to develop romantic feelings, means to deny that he ever saw her as a sister. Which is sad. I mean I guess it can be inferred he never wanted to accept her as part of their family, b/c he romantically loved her, but I thought the reason why the brothers didn't accept her in the first place were b/c they didn't want to feel as if their dead sister could be replaced. Even in the past, if Eugene actually romantically liked her, why? Because she resembles his dead sister??? There's a lot of contradictions and stuff going on there. Idk, I'd like it a lot more if people liked each other for who they were, not b/c they resembled someone else. I'll stick around to see how the romance is written b4 i shut it down. It really does make you reevaluate your values at least lol
