I'm...kind of confused about your points. When she said she thought Caidel was being sensitive, she didn't mean he was a sensitive, weak or emotional person. She just meant a lot was happening to him at one time so she thought he was acting weird or 'different' out of stress.
And...she doesn't use Caidel for everything. Yeah, he's helped her out when it came to the trial and the night the duke and Noah fought but she is independant. I think you're misinterpreting whats going on because HE IS TRYING to get her to lean on him more. She's already used to dealing with stuff herself, hes trying to make her depend on him and she's trying to learn to do so. Its not like she got isekai'd and knows better, no this has always been her life and she knows nothing more.
And her weak feelings? You mean her PTSD of being abused, ostracized, almost murdered and being the cause of hundreds of people death...yeah...how weak...I don't know about you but I don't think after being told that 'I may have accidentally massacred my entire villiage and a kid I really loved,' I would come out and say, "Yeah that kid was me and I've been hunting you down to kill you and get my revenge." I don't think that'll end well...
Then you said Caidel is trying to salvage their relationship...salvage what?! Their realtionship hasn't been been damaged at all! He's not trying to fix anything, he's trying to get closer. And addressing why people think this story may not have a happy ending is because of the looks Caidel has been giving her when she's not looking. Those aren't gazes of love or worry, they fell ominous and threatening. We still don't know what Caidel is truly thinking. Sure we saw the convo with the duke but even then we didn't get his exact thoughts and Noah is right. The way he's looking at her isn't right and he almost seems fake. Going back to what I said, the fact that he is trying to get her to rely on him and is trying to get close to her is kinda sus. Its not like these speculations or theories are coming from no where. I don't want a bad ending for the story, obviously, but we can't say it won't happen with the way the story seems to be going.
I honestly pity Ellen because she notices hin acting shady or 'different' but she is purposely ignoring it because she doesn't want to believe the first man she's ever loved, opened up to or who she shared her story with would purposely hurt her. Ellie is ignorant, she trying to force herself to be. Don't get the two confused. I mean, its your opinion on how you feel about Ellie but I wanted to at least defend her because she's not stupid or weak, just confused and scared.
Thisssss *claps claps*
I'm officially so done with Ellen. I hate this chick now. I was hanging onto her for a while because of her sad backstory and I pitied her but uhm? She called him sensitive? What the hell? He's not sensitive at all. She's the sensitive one. I'm really mad that Ellen has become so stupid. She can't stand on her own two feet anymore! It's like as soon as she starts to become independent, She'll just fall down all over again and get scared. I hate how she has to use Caidel for everything. Why is everyone blaming Caidel? He literally is just trying to spare her weak feelings. We all know she'd just start crying and run away or become scared of him if she knew the truth. She really needs to grow a back bone. And what's up with all these theories about the story getting a bad ending? You guys are really being way to in your feelings about this. Lol of course it'll have a happy ending and Ellen will end up happy with Caidel. I hope Ellen grows her own back bone and starts trying to figure things out instead of sitting there doing whatever Caidel does. That poor guy can't even say anything because she'll get all shocked by it and run away. I think Caidel is trying to salvage their relationship? I don't know but, Yikesss. I can't express how much I dislike Ellen on all levels.
