- so she is crazy. But my personal Theory is that her love is so strong that she cannot contain it. It is very sad to see her suffer so much because this is just the beginning she suffers throughout the whole story. She never gives up the thought that John loves her. She’s so secure about it, And most she might think that he’s a coward, but she always faith in his love.
So yes, John does love her. He only admits to it after she is dead.
However, before she dies, he explicitly says That he wishes to be with the one he loves. And that he cares for her deeply and wishes for the war to be over to live his life with her. But he never says that his love is for Tite.(Not before she dies)
So an Oracle came down and stated that in order to get rid of the demons either the pope had to die or his lover. Everyone thought that his lover was some brunette girl That he hung out with sometimes.
Of course the pope offered himself as sacrifice, but nobody wanted him to die because he was their leader, so they decided to kill the brunette girl without his consent. When he found out about this he rushed over there in order to stop it because he knew it would be un useless sacrifice because she was not the girl that he loved, once he got there, he realized that the person that they were actually sacrificing was the girl that he loved, the protagonist .
He couldn’t actually do anything about it bc the flames for sacrificial rituals could not be put off .He started screaming and crying, and once she died, the monsters disappeared. John accepted that he loved her and that there was no need for more sacrifices because she was the one.
Nobody Believed him, Everyone thought that he had so much love for the people that any sacrifice would have been accepted.
Finally, at the end the brunette girl is seen walking down the street when she sees a locket that belongs to the pope that fell while he was struggling to free Tite from the ritual. She opens it out of curiosity and inside sees a piece of hair from the protagonist and a little handmade drawn picture of her. So in the scene where she cuts her hair, if you look closely, you can see that he walks away with his hand closed after grabbing some of her hair, that’s because he kept it.
