It’s been what? 30 chapters? And Astina still cannot understand that she is doing the same thing over again? That she is pushing him away just like she pushed Theo away and treating Teriod as Theo had treated her.
She’s so afraid that she might not be loving him genuinely that she is masking all of her actual feelings and her fear is making her unsure of what is true and what is not.
This isn’t even something that can be talked out between the two of them anymore I feel. I fear that somebody is going to have to force some sense into her.
