at the the end she couldn’t live without him. But it’s kinda stupid he didn’t escape w her but again he couldn’t because of how shes afraid of how he might snitch on her oop
jesus christ people, can you not image a story where a woman is happy with out being attached to a man ?lol
Its more refreshing and realistic to show the story of a woman who was demonized and doing what she wants, in order to live, with out having to kiss ass to another abusive male characters for the 100th time like in other shoujo stories.
@blazing_boz: Well said! Though the guard wasn't really abusive as such—the boat-burning for instance was pretty much straight-up his job, he is the prison warden. But likewise, it would seem absurd to fault her for using his emotions—it being a life-and-death situation for her, quite straightforwardly—and it's easy to imagine she was not feeling terribly reciprocal with regards to his, her earstwhile captor's, feelings.
Anyway. I like her. She seems like a proper badass, even if she didn't ask to be.
Imo she committed suicide at the end- because she wanted to be able to choose how, where and when she died.
Anyway great story, thanks for the translation!!
