"There may be a way to return Leticia to her old personality" is not information. It's a guess or a hypothesis. People often agonise over whether to give someone possibly false hope or not. In addition to that, Alice might have spent the trip wondering if it's even a possibility, not just whether to speak of it. Maybe it would make things worse, not better? Seeing how the MC most of the time behaves like a fool, even if a super magically talented fool, it doesn't make it any easier. If you let a fool make a decision, you might later regret it, thinking it will be your responsibility if things go wrong.Are you serious? We have someone who knew that Leticia was possessed the entire time???????????
I hope to god the MC leaves her and never parties with her again, how despicable is that to hide that kind of important infomation that was clearly a super harsh mental burden on the MC. I know she loves the MC and wants to be with him but that's truly a terrible way to go about it to an unforgivable level.
It's the big issue, several series do this and it's just sad. People who get possessed/controlled and made to betray the MC in some way (Usually abuse and/or exile) that had genuine feelings for the MC before the possesion/Slaving/control and then become the bad guy and the MC never figures out they were actually controlled either ever or way later. So all your left with is a love story that ends with MC picking his/her new party member/friend over the ex that actually did nothing wrong.I feel bad for Leticia tbh, because despite none of it being her fault she's still probably gonna not get the happy ending she would have had she never been possessed. Especially since I assume whatever event caused her to get possessed was probably related to Haru's weird eyes too.
"I was being possessed" is a bit goofy if it's only brought up at the end of an arc or if it constantly gets re-used, but I'm fine with its usage so far, especially since in this villain's case it served a plot point of being a mirror to Leticia's situation. If the author keeps using it though it'll probably start feeling more forced to me.
As far as I can tell, Haru has always had those eyes. For Alice's flashback to when they were kids, Haru still had slit pupils while Leticia was normal.I feel bad for Leticia tbh, because despite none of it being her fault she's still probably gonna not get the happy ending she would have had she never been possessed.

From an actual plot perspective, sure, but I'm more looking at it from a manga perspective. Even if figuring out the reason + forgiving her is the reason of Haru's journey now, manga tropes imply that even if they do, the girl treated as an antagonist with less panel time is unlikely to be the "winning girl" over the ones shown as part of the MC's party throughout the manga. There's still hope, but I'm not banking on that being the case in a manga like this.And yeah, it's pretty sad. On the other hand, I can still see a possible good future for Leticia. Him 'thinking about what her being in love with him means' is what their journey is ostensibly about (it's what Alice suggested). As far as I can tell, Ange obviously loves him but isn't aware of it, and Alice might have feelings but she may also just love him as a friend, which would be a nice change of pace honestly. (I haven't really noticed any 'maiden in love' signals from her.)

I like that she actually decided to tell him, though. A bit late, but she does have some baggage relating to his past as well.People often agonise over whether to give someone possibly false hope or not.
