I see, thank you for explaining! I think Kanae's feelings of dislike are understandable because she's definitely tried her hardest to love Anthy and it must be upsetting having a woman you're supposed to get along with and love hate you for reasons you have no idea about. The fact that Kanae wasn't raised to deal with her dislike of others properly and recognize her negative feelings are valid doesn't help either.

Hmm well I think that’s ultimately one of the things that the show is trying to say about these sorts of situations. Neither Kanae nor Anthy are the villains in this scenario, and both their negative feelings toward each other are understandable in context. Akio is the villain because he has a broader perspective (and just generally more power) than the two of them, but chooses to use that against them and engineer scenarios in which he can turn them against each other.

#asks #anon #rgu #i do think that characters like kanae and wakaba and how they relate to anthy are v interesting in this regard #characters who do make an effort not to actually voice/take out their anger on anthy #but the fact that the anger is there is still significant #because it comes from a place of pinning blame on an easy target rather than deal with difficult truths #and i think the show does posit that this hatred is in itself harmful bc someone like anthy will Know and Recognize it #even when u think ur hiding it #the feelings themselves can be entirely understandable in the context of ur limited perspective #but once ur perspective becomes broader… then what? can you face the harm that you unwittingly perpetuated?#whether it’s truly your fault or not becomes irrelevant sometimes #which is what the rooftop apologies were about #ofc in kanae’s case she never got a chance to broaden her perspective because she… well we don’t really know what happened to her 😔#her story is just a total tragedy #anyway. im rambling fr now sorry
