Lili's Favorite

Ok so I went through everything I could find, inculding reddit, novel updates forums and the whole comment section here. I read the raws and looked at other sources that I could find and quiet frankly in temrs of spoilers there is next to nothing which is hella odd since I saw people talking about this all the way in 2017. I could look into it more but I don't think that there will be more on it but I do have a better understanding of the story now. I did also find an intresting spoiler but because there is very little information I think that it's hard to know what to believe.

Spoiler about Liliana: http://www.mangago.zone/home/mangatopic/4904364/

Anyways other than the limited spoilers I did manage to get a better idea of her and her brothers relationship. So my conclusion is that the author intentionally left what happened up to intepretation. I haven't found any spoilers relating to their relationship so it's hard to say much but I do think that in a way this is an intresting subtle comentary on rape, specifically how in any settings it's supposed to stay as a "secret" no one talks about it. I don't know about you but I personally knew from a young age that many things that we are not supposed to let others know, things we shouldn't dare talk about (e.g. the blacked out letters.) In chapter 9 all the bad things are thoughts (square boxes), not dialogue which shows that she is not meant to think about them. The things she liked, her friends and her lover (the guy putting a neckless on her) were all crossed out which makes it seem as though he had an unhealthy obsession over her and like he was isolating her.
There are things she said like "don't make him mad" that imply that there was at least some level of abuse within their relationship.

I don't think that she tried to tell anyone about the rape. I think that she knew that no one would believe her and that she had to continue playing the role her brother and family assigned to her. There are many scenes where she is depicted as a puppet with strings attaced while he holds the controller. It's clear that her family is centered around her brother in the few scenes where they are depicted (e.g. her saying she will go away for uni/college so she doesn't bother her brother). She has little power because his clutches on her mentality are strong but nevertheless she still has some mental power which is why she tried to get away and I'm pround of her.

The main scene, which I think is the strongest evidence for the rape theory is the one where he had the key to her house and he "came to my house where I lived alone" during what seemed to be the middle of the night. I don't think that she was raped but I do think that he was physically abusive or at least violent in some way because in that scene there was broken glass.

Overall it seems to be left to individual intepration. Things are shown, not told so it's really up to use to derive the meaning.

The main inspitations behind my point of view: (Yes this comment section has the most value to provide out of all the other sauces, I did not read the novel and I can't be bother to go that far so this is the best I could get)

PTSD and what she is experiencing could fully be explained by emotional abuse alone but it also makes sense with physical abuse and rape.

Another spoiler: She doesn't end up with anyone at the end.

Note: I mainly focused on the brother and sister relationships, there weren't any intresting spoilers. I went through the raws and it was so hard to make sense of any of it but I do personally believe that her current brother is in a way in the same position as she was with her older brother in the past.
