i just love how well-rounded the characters are (sometimes too intense, but eh it’s fiction anyway), it’s what makes this manhwa entertaining for me. while ilmi’s actions are wrong, it’s what the adults in her life, who all failed her, have pushed her to do as defense mechanism. and now seeing that she used to be on good terms with her sister despite their mom’s blatant favoritism vs their current relationship, i can’t help but think how things could’ve been completely different if only her sister took her side and blamed their mom instead. that line “she doesn’t even know that her hateful look hurt me more than my mom’s true feelings toward me.” really HIT me as someone with a sister that i’m close to. i hate their mom so much for driving a wedge between them omg i kinda hope they’d be close again and take a stand against their mom, or at least leave that abusive household, disown their family, and do what they want to do
