#its being emo about kassandras hardships hour

[msmisthios]

ok let me talk about this still for a bit bc I'm not okay.

it kills me bc its so obvious Kassandra is so horrified by seeing who her brother has become. I bet she had at least somewhat of a hope up until this point that he might not be too far gone. but then in this moment she is confronted by the fact that he might just be pure evil? and maybe she won't get her family back?

but THEN she also looks almost apologetic as if its her fault, and I mean Alexios has already told her it *is* all her fault. and she didn't believe it, but then again, there's this doubt in her eyes that looks like she has a split second of remorse. like, is it her fault? could it have ended differently if she hadn't tried to save him that night?

and ultimately what rips my soul to shreds is that Kassandra, under all that tough exterior, is such a soft person just wishing to love and be loved, who has spent all this time missing and wondering about her family. but, she mended herself, built herself up, and found a family in Kephallonia in Markos and Phoibe.

and that's what kills me, is that she had just lost Phoibe, and now she lost her brother too.
