I thought to myself that I should just reread, but wtf Carcel from chapter 1 really REAALLLY pmo

And to demonstrate how Carcel is influencing Ines’s change, here are the scenes:
1. Morning after her near-death experience, he admonished her for talking like she’s defective. This is the beginning of Carcel encouraging her to value her life. She realized he hates it when she does this.
2. Carcel begins to cherish her health even more. Ines says in ep42, he has the entire house concerned about her health to the point that she acknowledges she has never lived like this before in any of her previous lives that she remembers where she was surrounded by such care and sincerity.
3. Despite trying to entrap Carcel by inviting a crazy woman into their home, Carcel who was the injured party who realized she was up to no good, instead blamed himself for her scheme. Carcel decided it was his fault because of his premarital life. Then he told Ines even if she didn’t care, he only wants her to be surrounded by people who treat her sincerely because he loves her and he doesn’t want her to be treated like that by anyone.
4. Carcel nurses her all night whenever she’s sick without getting any sleep even while he never misses a day at work and goes to work without sleep. Therein is the sincerity she realizes he treats her with all the time.
5. The manhwa did a terrible job highlighting this point but because of Carcel, Ines began to realize she has never once thought of what became of Juana and Raul after she shot herself in the crown princess timeline. These are her closest servants yet only when Carcel unknowingly began to influence her in Calztela, she began to think of them and she explicitly admits this.
6. Manhwa cut out the fact that after the failed attempt to entrap Carcel, Ines recognized that he was very angry about what happened. They included the part that he still nursed her all night after she developed a fever but the next morning when she was better, Ines was nervous that he might still be upset and her actions might lead him to lose his love for her. This is probably one of the biggest factors that made her quit her divorce plan.
7. The dream she had of the crown princess timeline helped her to recognize that Carcel from that timeline loved her and helped her. In that dream, Carcel told her all he wants is for her to live. Once again, it drives home the point to her that he values her life. Manhwa cut out that when she wakes from the dream, she began to berate herself and admitted she was wrong from the start about him.
8.when Carcel gave her the gun, Ines realized right away the gun Oscar gifted her was Carcel’s prized possession from his grandfather. He even tells her that he treasured it so much that he was afraid to touch it. Ines immediately understood Oscar lied and Carcel is the one who gave her his treasure just because he didn’t want her shoulder to hurt. This shocking revelation leads her to begin to consider opening up to him about her past. She asks him to continue to love her and she promises one day she will tell him everything.
9. Luciano. Ines collected Carcel’s old letters that she always read with indifference when she was his fiancée. There at her family home, she met Luciano while holding Carcel’s letters. Manhwa cuts out that she credits Carcel’s letters in her hand for her surprising invitation to Luciano to come to Calztela to hunt with her and Carcel. In other words, she thinks it’s the mood that she had from reading Carcel’s letters that influenced her to reach out to her estranged brother. Why his letters? She recognized his letters were written to an indifferent and uncaring fiancée who never once replied to him yet the good-natured person he was, he always ended his letters with a prayer or benevolence that God would keep her safe and living in peace. That goodwill she acknowledged was still influencing her mood when she met Luciano on the stairs.
10. Carcel inviting Luciano to accompany Ines to the Formente match opened the door to the siblings actually spending time together. Manhwa cut out Luciano observed in the carriage that Ines blushes on the mere mention that her husband sent to invite him to accompany her to the game. This also made it easier for Ines to confide in Luciano about Oscar and all the things he did to abuse Carcel as a little boy and his future intention for her.
