That would suck for the 2nd ML because while people who love each other like the FL and ML might be able to love someone, that love would never quite measure up to the feelings they’d have for each other before. She would be settling for him because she doesn’t believe she’s good enough for the man she’s actually in love with.
... I'm not too fond of this relationship, I do know they will end up together because it's what it is BUT I think if they want a healthy relationship, they can forgive each other and move on.
The feelings are already built on shaky ground. No matter what happens Carnephelia will always feel in debt to the ML i.e., it will never be an equal relationship because Carnephelia's guilt is too much.
That 2ML was a good option for Carnephelia, I felt he had the power to make her happy and keep her away from the spotlight..
