I think when people see a kid and an adult they are too quick to yell "grooming". I understand that knowing that Hermann always had feelings for Evaldina and that Hermann essentially becomes her henchman in the future can look sus. But until we see concrete proof, it's premature to call it grooming.
Idk about y'all but why am I in tears after reading Evaldina and Hermann's side stories... I just feel bad for Evaldina actually, it's tragic..
Also, I don't see it as grooming. She never accepted Herman's feelings for her and she still saw Herman as a pure kid who just wanted her to smile...
