I kinda get Astrid. I don't think the way she acts comes from nowhere—it feels like a lot of it comes from loneliness.
Maybe the easiest way to put it is that, in Astrid's mind, she married ChatGPT—an AI. And slowly, her kids started becoming like ChatGPT too, when all she really wanted from her husband and children was familial love, not a relationship where love is only shown through duty and responsibility.
It’s honestly kinda pitiful from both sides. She knows they love her, but sometimes people need to hear it directly, not just through subtle hints or actions.
That said, I’m not trying to justify what she did, especially with her own kids. I just hope the MC can change both sides—the Astrid side and the Duke’s side—and help them understand each other better.
The real problem was they can't show their emotion properly.. that's why Astrid feel lonely because she felt like looking at a statue who stared back at you, but when you tried to speak warmly to only be left in coldness of their tone.
She just hated how they aren't expressive enough that's it.
That's why she dote on our little girl because she's cute even in that boy disguise
That Vitrace dude—i believe he’s the God or whatever Leviathan himself (or maybe Dionysus? Idk).
But i sincerely hope neither of these men becomes Siché’s lover in the end. Like— and i really really hope this is either seeking justice or her path to healing herself kind of a story.
