⚓ between the devil and the deep blue sea⚓

which breaks my heart because, it's likely the reason he suffered even more damage to this now unusable left arm.....

i do find it very interesting that luca lived near a church....makes me wonder if his family was religious in any way? his deep aversion for cultism surely comes from something he experienced yes? there's so much left to explore lord....

we know have the complete confirmation that herman married gordana purely for her family's assets. it's even more digusting than i thought..

luca's mother introduced as the warm-hearted mistress of the house....makes me cry

"seasons of rain" i wonder if alice placed this euphemism for many tears shed and it makes me all the more emotional...

her softeness in decribing moments of momentary bliss is beyond adorable...gordana now established as a dreamer herself

this part...and the next that perfectly explains that gordana did not have a solid hatred for science as such, but only due to herman's endeavor she could only defend herself against her husband's obsession that left her alone....that the day luca her precious son would pursue his own wish, she would be there wearing an emerald brooch...if that doesn't say everything about the depth of her love for her son...

this part. is wild. "requires companions of his own age" it's so.......interesting? how herman subtly alluded to his own companionship to alva.... and destiny made alva to be...luca's own companion...? there's so much to unpack in this single sentence. my selfish alvaluca goggles are only seeing more proof of it. . . . . . . .

I'M SKIPPING THROUGH SOME OF THE CONFLICTS HEAVY PART BECAUSE I NEED TIME TO THINK ABOUT IT...
