I SERIOUSLY CANNOT AGREE MORE. you basically put everything i felt into words lmao
castillo (i think that’s his name lol) isn’t bad per se, but i just like hal so so so much more. his and lippe’s interactions are literally the most wholesome thing ever
plus, like you mentioned, he was loyal in BOTH lifetimes
also SPOILER maybe(?)
idk if this is true, but iirc, i think i saw a comment somewhere that said castillo also reincarnated. if that’s the case, it would also explain why he also seems mature for his age. it kinda feels unfair tho :(((
i’m really really bummed that hal isn’t the ML </3
he will always be my favorite tho haha (≧∀≦)
she literally saw him less than 5 times and suddenly she's about to catch feelings after he tied his handkerchief to a branch??? lmaO miss me w that bullshit Lippe, you're telling me you're choosing a somewhat rude stranger over someone you trust with literally your life?? no hate to castillo but it's so unfaIR MY BBY HAL DESERVED MORE
spoilers
if i remembered it correctly, Hal is the second lead and i'm sad because even after the loyalty he's shown for 2 whole lifetimes (1st and current timeline), Lippe still doesn't choose him in the end. he's been very supportive of her and her family, even going as far as putting his life on the line to protect them. it's kinda disappointing me because as of now, i'm not a fan of the ML (i forgot his name but the dude with white hair) and i just don't see the appeal in him (besides the face ofc he's one handsome boi but he's not as charismatic as Hal sooo)
