My (only) beef with this story is basically what you're pointing out. It would make more sense if she hated him because of what he did to her kin. But every time Anita's feelings are brought up, what ends up being the focus and reason for her hatred is that he used and betrayed her. In other words, she's more angry about him betraying her than actual betrayal (the killing of the witches etc). They wrote Anita to basically be love-crazed. It's never been about her people. It's just been about her trash love life.
Completely agree. This witches also forget to mention how she might, idk, be a bit mad about her mother and other witches being killed? It's a bit weird
Maybe I'm misremembering, but didn't he emperor go kill all the witches after dumping her? Like she didn't just become psychotic after being dumped, she became psychotic after handing the murder weapon to his lover who would then use it to persecute and eradicate her people and her family. Like doesn't make it okay but makes it more understandable.
