I think that the sweet innocent angle is the only Ein she really knows so if you think that a person is naturally kind and sweet then when they’re not that your naturally gonna think something is wrong. I also don’t think that Roselia would expect that level of manipulation from a child. I think she just naturally treats Ein like he’s a good person that she treasures because she does and that Ein feels the need to reciprocate such an attitude to keep receiving the attention he’s been getting not understanding that she would treat him the same regardless.
I completely agree with you.
Ein has been growing up with so much mistreatment and neglect, it just aches my heart that he thinks he has to perform for her, when we all know that she'll love him regardless. I just hope she can be more openminded of him, and he'll be more honest with her. I'm scared that when she does find out that he can be vindictive she'll be shocked. But you're right.
I agree even if she wants to prevent him from turning into a villian she cant just think this child is a complete angel....all kids are little devils inside
Anyone finds it odd that she's super attached to the fantasy of ein being this 'sweet, innocent angel'?
Even if she's being deceived, by continuing to push this expectation of him (on him, on to herself, and to everyone else), it is going to be a burden for him to live up to. Because,, he's not a good person, he loves his mom a lot and doesnt want her to hate him, but, he's not a bad person either, he never attacks first or set out to do any harm.
I think, as a parent, you should treat a child like a human, who is capable of doing good or bad things. They have a loving relationship that I absolutely ADORE, but he's hiding himself, and it's a shame that she hasn't provided an environment where he could express all the multilayered facets of his character and she'll love him unconditionally.
