....I just kept ewwwing my way through reading this double chapter. I don't know but I did not like that they were talking while pretending there was no giant mamoth elephant in the room...
PLUS, what does Heiner want with Anette??, I am not being obtuse but what does he want??? Or rather how did the event of him playing Anette play out in his head??
Did he think that she would love him and be his punching bag wherever his PTSD flared up?? He kept her in the capital and DID NOT shield her from ANY abuse from his people. he relished that she was "brought" down to his level by her isolation..
The Author is playing a dangerous game and we are reading it because C'est la vie..
