i feel like although the story wants to present beatrice as sympathetic its way too late for that now. i think we could have used more chapters earlier on in the story from her POV after the audience finds out her true nature. which is much earlier in the story than this point. we see the flashback of this chapter that she looks/acts kinda meek and all that but yknow her family didnt seem bad when our raelina met them? so what made her wanna be someone else? its up to speculation now. and like her family reveals, if she had complained about her original marriage and cut it off it would have been fine. its kinda annoying how pitiable the angle is. in the end, what limited rae-beatrice was her mindset. someone told her she was fated to die as a side character and she went all "boohoo poor me, youre right oracle-san. i need to be someone else asap". theyre probably going for a "only characters outside the story can change events" to explain why rae-batrice couldnt have done anything except react in a way that attempted to follow the story but again. for that to play out with a tragic framing we should have gotten SOME time with her. rn at this point. its too late, its hard to get here and not be like SOMEONE KILL BEATRICE ALREADY!!!! SNIPE HER ASSSSS. SHE'S GOTTA GOOOOOOOOO!!! lmao
