cassio is an asshole, still is per chapter 38 BUT among the 3 men, hes the only one who got busy with brains, i wonder if thats why ophelia chose to entrust emilia to him and not the tepid tempered raretis, even though in hindsight itd have made sense for ophelia to put emilia in the care of someone with least visible conflict with her. cassio is smart and live off stimulations (??? sort of). hes borderline a sicko but hes not dumb at it like the ponytail. in passing, i feel like cassio and ophelia are both very similar characters. theyre blunt and kinda twisted, bitter, but also incredibly protective. ophelia has been seen showing that she can be genuinely affectionate with emilia, and i think in time cassio can be a sincere person too, hence why ophelia chose him for guarding emilia post her passing.
i saw spoilers saying that raretis is the ML but honestly i find it very hard to believe, although maybe its also for the best for emilia. but right now though, cassio is so interesting and their interaction is diabolical and complex and their chemistry is flying sparks everywhere. i just feel like even though ellodi is the exact ophelia lookalike, cassio is literally the spitting image of ophelia, in terms of personality and perspective
