since this got an update for some reason i reread it and it’s still as beautiful as the first time i read it. all i can really say is i know it’s supposed to be a happy ending, but the fact that her trauma affected who she chose to love, and the fact she never got to see her real beauty, only accepting the faux ugliness that her mom put on her. acceptance is good, but not of something that wasn’t even real. of course, im sure she loves the bull (or whatever his name was haha), but she chose him because she thought she couldnt eat him.
