Well, there are many people who have a sensitive conscience, including me, that's why I always strive to do good, I can't handle even to lie as a joke, I go tell the joke right away then apologize for lying, I can't handle it at all, but now what she did is kicking a teen out of his home, her own classmate, and made him nearly d** just cause she didn't like him, sure he was bad but that was so out of proportion, it's only logical that guilt is eating at her conscience, it is weirder when they don't care after ruining your life like sociopaths. Imo, so I wonder if my opinion of what's happened helped you understand haha?
I didnt take it as her being guilty of "fucking up his life", but rather she's feeling guilty over the fact that she kicked him out not realizing that he is a hidden talent.
The way she hesitated to sacrifice the pawn while playing a game of chess can be interpreted as her thinking "what if this pawn is just like Ed back then when he was still seemingly useless and can be discarded anytime but then he grew to be someone valuable"
I don't think it's that far off tangent. She did mention that she thought she was good at reading people, but after Ed, she's now doubting herself and her ego was beaten or something lol.
I mean if I kicked someone out of my group in a groupwork because I deemed them useless(considering their past actions) and then their individual work was reasonably graded higher than our group I'd be pretty devastated too. Her situation is a lot more serious considering she's a princess but this is just an example so we can relate heh.
And I guess right after this since Ed apparently is dead and she can't say let bygones be bygones or form an amicable relationship with a dead talent, she probably is gonna have a breakdown lmao. And I still dont think that's overreacting since she seems like someone who was always right and gets her way no matter what, she's gonna feel like she lost something and is gonna blame herself for his death even tho its most definitely not related to anything she's done smh
Ima be fr, Princess Phoenia's Ed obsession a bit ????? Off tangent....... Like, I get it, the guilt eats at you realizing you 'fucked' his life up. But to keep gnawing at the past over a person you dont remotely know of and get so wound up anytime something or someone reminds you of him is..... ?????? Idk. I feel like this one's a bit more forced of a connection more than others or maybe I just dont see the vision haha (￣∇￣")
