Jeanette's "desire to be loved" is huge...it even became her magic (said in chapters before this by lucas)
so maybe this will be a blow to her? inside her head has been all flowers since the beginning so I don't really get her way of thinking 😂
Ezekiel had always been putting her 1st since little soo...probably hes like a doting brother figure to her? maybe? so maybe the rejection feels like a doting brother that suddenly gets a girlfriend?
But THAT doesn't make sense 'cuz when Athy was a fugitive (lol) Jeanette was kinda(?) jealous of Ezekiel when the secret became known by Ezekiel too
Its as if rather than all those years of doting from Ezekiel, she still wishes for & chose her 'true' family that she rarely even meets (Athy & Claude) and the 'dad' isn't even nice to her, he just sleeps lmao
still its TRUE so maybe she'll feel competitive with Ezekiel for getting Athy's attention? or maybe she'll have both feelings and will feel even more complicated?
I DON'T GET HER SRSLY 😂 (guess there's more to the story that is yet to be known)
Ok, I'll stop thinking and just enjoy a cute scene of Lucas and Athy floating
Edit: now that I think of it again...seeing the
flashback of Ezekiel holding the bunny while Jeanette is crying for the castle (probably metaphor for her 'true' family)........doesn't this mean Ezekiel knows that even though he tried hard to make Jeanette no 1
ALL THOSE YEARS, she doesn't really care? (cares more for her fantasy of her 'true' family)
so I think Ezekiel is just tired (and that explains his words in this chapter+ its just great timing to stop forcing himself to make Jeanette no 1 in his life now that he has a bigger goal when he fell for Athy).....if Ezekiel continued he'd just be forcing himself to spoil Jeanette
So rather than Ezekiel's words today, I think Jeanette's behavior is kinda more cruel in its own way from my prespective (she's just taking Ezekiel's affection for granted, well she is still a kid so she probably doesn't realize but I fell that Ezekiel thinks that she needs to)...this is just my opinion tho point me out if I'm wrong
