I always look forward to reading your summaries after (▰˘◡˘▰)
Nice people like you are why I continue
Thank you for the translation. I feel like edgar and June have this toxic sibling relationship. They treat each other as rivals and even tried to sabotage each other but if push came to shove they always protect one another.
Sorry this turned into a tangent, read at your own risk lmao
Well they were kinda raised as siblings. I really think the only reason they didnt try to stay that way was bc of peer pressure and the way society was at the time. If you were not biologically related then you couldn't be family.
That's the case with Edgar and June, and you even saw it with the late lord and how he truly loved Edgar as a son, but couldn't fully take him in.
That entire way of thinking is insane to me bc I have an adopted brother and as much as we annoy and bully each other we're still family and I'd do anything to see him happy in life. So the notion of having to have some sort of intimate relationship with the opposite sex unless biologically related is both crazy and appalling to me.
Yay we're learning folks! This feels like we're getting closer to the end and regaining some sanity!
Tldr: Cameron freaks out, Victoria is DONE, and June and Edgar realize how much they truly love each other in a familial way.
So Cameron stops them only to see someone is sick. He goes to join them, but when Victoria states that June is pregnant, he freaks out and tries to stop them from leaving once more. Thankfully, Victoria can be scary when needed, so she scares the driver into taking them to the hospital.
Edgar tries to thank her and offer to pay her back somehow, but Victoria shuts him down stating that she no longer trust him or anyone who has gotten involved with Cameron (which is fair bc everyone kinda screwed her over). Edgar regrets and turns to comfort June to hide his discomfort.
At the hospital, the doctor informs them that June is not pregnant, but has arsenic poisoning from the Emrald Green (SYMBOLISM). While asleep, June reminises over her green lover and how she truly thought they would be happy together, but is now realizing that she was just an escape for him. He always had a place to return too, she is forever out of place. Upon waking up and seeing the distressed Edgar, June realizes that she truly loves Edgar bc he gives her a place to belong, and Edgar loves her for the same reason.
Although, when she tells Edgar that he loves her he misunderstands, asking that she not say another thing about it because he cant bring himself to kiss her or love on her romantically, but she reassures him by just stating again that they live each other, and thats enough.
Whoo wooo! Acceptance between characters? The end is near! We're almost free but it's always calmest before the storm. Let's see what shit show happens next week
