"Rather than a fool like me, she's more like Clartes," she says, even though Wellmy's knack and patience for elaborate scheming and dedication to the people she loves to the point of self-sacrifice are more Isabella's traits than Clartes' :')
(Isabella has easily risen the ranks as one of my most favorite characters ever. Her writing goes so insane with how much insight and information they packed in a limited amount of scenes. I especially looove that she was a nurse before she was Iora's abuser. It's telling of what Savarin had taken from her in one act – her person, her husband, her life, down to her capability to care specifically for Iora just because she shared his blood, even though Iora was no different from herself, her Wellmy, or her patients otherwise.)
hot take but of fucking course he's toxic. the point is that he's trying. the epilogue is trying to portray the healing of a man who is severely hurt and severely broken, and who has inflicted hurt and continues to inflict hurt. heiner's past is what it is, and his trauma doesn't at all excuse all that he's made annette go through, but life moves on whether you like it or not. what i'm trying to say is. he deserves to be allowed the grace to atone and to heal. most people do. regardless of whether you think they deserve it or not. because most times, in real life, you don't get a choice of who lives on. all you get is a chance to do better.
