@mervesan weird romance? I think you are overthinking. At this moment I think it's up to readers how to interpret it. The woman might as well just care for the boy because she has no other thing to do. It's not romantic at all.
Despite what everyone say, this is fiction and I've been rereading this so many time even though it's angsty and I still love these two. They deserve one another. And it's fiction! There i said it
I hope this is not going where I think it's going.
I hope it stays a wholesome story of a brother-sister type of relationship between two unrelated people. The world deserve a story about how you can find family without being blood-related.
