Lippie and Castillo were in love in her previous life. Her brothers and Harrison died early before the war really started. I'm not sure if Castillo was still alive when she went back in time, but I am guessing he went missing at the very least. There are hints that he might actually have memories of the past as well, which is why he is so fond of her and protects her. Every time they meet she remembers more and more about how they were before she went back in time, and the things they said to each other so I don't think their development is that weird.
I know everyone seems confused and stuff, which I completely understand, but I still love this story. It is dragging on for a while bc its literally 100 chapters of her being a kid. So that means there's gotta be like even more for her to be an actual adult lolol. And ik everyone seems to not like the singing thing but I think it makes sense. Bc the whale thing told her singing is what helps keep aether or whatever in the air, and she needs to sing to keep the aether around for everyone. Her being a singer without having to hide it would make sense bc itd help with the aether situation, and not just that, but it would help change everyone's view on folk songs/other genre's. Her dressing up and the mixing of modern to historical is a bit weird tho. I mean i guess inventions are happening but its kinda random lol. ANDDDD I think her relationship with Castillo is a bit weird. It felt rushed to me and there's not enough background for me to really ship them together. Like hes not around enough to be a male lead. And there's really no info on him. Like the flashbacks of them don't really do much. And I swear I thought she said they never talked in her previous life so why are all these flashbacks making it seem like they liked each other lol. I like her more with Harrison lol
