Ugh, honestly, it's a special kind of suffering to have to act like you like your abuser. One of the reasons I actually like this manhwa is because I've never seen a character that I can relate to so well, like Ruby. Most books with victims of abuse always show them either being hostile to their abusers, distant or fearful. But showing victims in a situation where they have to hide their fear and disgust and go along with the situation is rare. Ruby was me for my entire childhood and I wish this side of abuse was shown more. I really hope that bastard gets what he deserves at some point so Ruby can truly start to heal.
