my personal headcanon:
*out of sheer spite*
"Watch from up there, cowards. Take a REAL good look at how we're having fun with your daughter."
*derisive laughter*
They both belong in hell
"Timid" my ass. She wasn't timid when it came to spreading her legs to another guy and begging her sister to keep quiet. Despite knowing it meant the sister's reputation and relationship were both ruined. The ML's brother didn't say anything out of pride and a bruised ego. He didn't want to admit his "timid" wife was actually a two-faced cheating whore. Both were cunts.
My thoughts and feelings exactly. There was no reason to even ADD the rape, and had it NOT been added, I would have been MORE than happy to cheer the lead couple on in the end. But I just can't. And I think the FL should have cut her sister out of her life. I mean, sure, tell the sister you will keep her secret, but that the secret just cost her the relationship the pair had up until then.
The sister and husband were both despicable for letting their siblings marriage be ruined just to save their own prides.
Two things ruined it. First, the rape: something there is no excuse on God's Green Earth for. Second was the brother and his wife. I sort of understand the wife's cowardice, as she was supposedly a timid and very unconfident person. She should have stood up, but didn't. What I couldn't understand was the husband. He knew, and yet didn't tell his brother what really happened. What a total douche. I understand that they didn't want to spend their time vilifying the couple after they were killed, but to think of them watching over them from heaven was ludicrous.
