Alin loves and adores Jane—it’s undeniable. They’d have virtually no problems if it weren’t for others trying to sabotage them for their own selfish gain. Alin reacts to the external problems they’re faced with the same way Jane does—only their reactions differ. Though it’s worth noting that most of the problems they have come from Alin’s side (e.g., her father, mother, ex, coworker). She has to process all of that while also considering her girlfriend’s feelings—it’s a lot, but she always comes through.

Where others think Alin is ungrateful and inconsiderate of Jane’s efforts and feelings, it’s a matter of perspective. For instance, Jane wanted to surprise Alin with an interview—with the intention of showing Alin she’s valuable for such and such reasons. Alin took that as Jane pitying her—throwing a dog a bone—when she wouldn’t have gotten the job otherwise. That’s Alin projecting her insecurities onto Jane. Something Jane is also guilty of, with regard to her abandonment issues, and how she projected onto Alin when she accused her of cheating. Like Jane, Alin understood that she was reacting to something that’s long since troubled her—a broken promise in which Alin abandoned her in their youth. But I digress. Was Alin wrong to do that? Yes. Did she recognize the wrong on her part? Yes. But you know what? She’s human, and like anyone, she has her vices.

Though it could also be said that Jane could’ve communicated that she was the one Alin was interviewing—knowing her insecurities—instead of surprising her.

I say this to say: Y’all are treating a multifaceted, nuanced story like it’s black or white/good or bad. These are two women: with their own issues coming together to find a safe place within each other. Hence, the name.
