I'm not going to go for obsession either. I am as dumb as she is. No sorry, if it was me, I would have died the first panels of the story. You said it, it is a hot take.
well yea but penelope went out of her way to find ekles and made him obsessed with her and is surprise hes obsessed with her. its just common sense, that man was never mentally stable and for her to goad his obsession and not nurture him properly (shes not obligated but she did go out of her way to find). now thats stupid but ofc i dont blame her or you opinion too much bc we never rlly know how a person is going to act
Honestly if she would’ve accepted Ekles’ offer to run away would the story have ended.
Like what did she expect when she decided to take his “route” he is a slave of course you would’ve had to be on the run. That 1% would’ve never filled up because YOU Penelope never accepted his crazy obsession of a love for you. The depth in Penelope character is so amazing but I swear it’s as if she’s an idiot sometimes
