Geez

The amount of ppl in the comments not having proper reading comprehension and understanding of the characters in a deeper level pisses me off...like all your questions can be answered if you read the story properly It's rlly well written, especially their thoughts. The only complaints sld be about Igor or Vinter cause Vinter literally has the story UPSIDE DOWN, making the "truth" all Alexei/Alyosha's fault which was already stated by Alexei as "twisted". Lerusha is still young and naive, he lets his emotions get to him so it'll be obvious if he knew too much esp bad cause Igor will be after him if he finds out he's from a family he killed, just like Vinter's family. Igor id unpredictable. That is what makes everything so messed up especially for Alexei cause he can't predict what Igor might be up, hence tying himself close to him to get revenge and eventually if possible to kill him to secure Lerusha's safety.

Honestly I just hope Igor is gone as fast as possible but that's the whole plot so....man....
