Am crying
So in the end what Dorothy needed was Ray's forgiveness and approval, even if he doesn't remember that life
It's not out of character for Ray to forgive Dorothy, because even if Ray remembers, he would make the same choice. Ray was smiling at Dorothy when she stabbed him, he already forgive her when she's in the middle of killing him, why wouldn't he do the same now?
In mandarin there's a phrase called "相依为命", and it fits Ray's view of himself with Dorothy. Ray sees Dorothy as the only family he has in this hell created by Karnon, i.e. the only person that he can give his familiar love and affection to, a meaning to live on, something that makes breathing feels slightly lighter under all that pressure and scorn by Karnon (yall really think Karnon that loca won't insult his own son just coz the son has light spirit power? Nawh it's Karnon, this bastard thinks he's the best and perfect)
It's sad that people often only see Dorothy's suffeeing, and downplayed the mental stress and abuse that Karnon gave to Ray. This Ray faka really grew up a lot mentally as compared to the past life, given how he even have the spine to make the scheming minister stfu when minister was tryna disregard and diss Dorothy. Just because we didn't see it, it doesn't mean dood didn't suffer or come a long way too.
Man these kids deserves better parents... all three of them (Ethan, Dorothy, and Ray).
