In the novel, Verite is the same age as Blanche when he was entrapped in the mirror and lost his memories. When Abigail first purchased the mirror (where Verite is), he really doesn't have physical form yet. It was only when Abigail told him to make himself a form that he did transformed his self into a man (because upon being entrapped in the mirror, he's only surrounded by merchants as old as a grown man).
His maturity and wits were like a grown adult so it's kinda weird
both he and blanche act mature tho, they are both children who had to grow up fast. Blanche had been raised by nanny’s while Verite, well we don’t much about him but we know he’s been trapped in a mirror for who knows how long.
I don't like how Blanche and verite(?) are a thing like he appeared as a man in the starting and was a confident for Abigail but now there's supposed to be romance between Blanche and him??
