SICK

It's kinda like a love story between 2 complete different creatures(?).
They're made to think differently, they're so instinctively different to the point where it's difficult to even notice "signs" or understand what the other person is thinking at all.

This point reminds me of another story The Snake that Swallowed the Pomegranate; where 2 of the main characters are a dragon who falls in love with a human and despite loving him so much, he could never understand what he needs or wants and ends up hurting him instead while trying to give him everything he *thinks* could make him happy.

Plus ever since Edgar was born, everyone, including himself has been thinking "he's going to die", I don't think he was even aware that Rose could heal him? I don't think he *wanted* to die, more so he had just accepted it since long ago, "it is what it is" kind of common sense.
So naturally other things like clearing one's feelings of guilt before he dies would become more "important".

Rose probably also cursed the entire bloodline because he's literally still angry. He's angry with the Otises, so he will continue to curse the Otises. Simple as that.
I inferred that since even Charlotte described it as "his wrath".

All in all the whole curse is just pure tragic and unfortunate I feel.

Aaa but of course there's nothing wrong with your perspective as well, just my two cents- ":
Didn't mean anything personal

i definitely agree with everything u said and i thought about it before
u don't need to say it's not personal im totally okay with other opinions ♡ :)
edgar life wasn't easy especially when he was ill and his brother always mistreated him.
his aunt actually cared for him and she tried to help him but he refused..
and that's a pure stupidity tbh
but he is probably an infp so that's why he accepted his brother bs
and i don't like these characters at all

him still being nice to neil and telling rose to help him started everything and he truly should've known or at least read rose feelings cause edgar is a sympathetic person (like bro u r only good at being nice and sympathetic why didn't u use it with rose ughhh)

and i can't blame rose cause he is a monster who doesn't have any common sense but i still dislike him alot and its true that he is still angry

neil is trash too ofc but i don't see that he deserves all of this he hated poverty and his brother who took all the attention from him(sick behaviour ofc) but neil faced and still facing his choices
and edgar? nothing he choose to die even when he had the biggest 2 chances and found his significant other who could actually help him
but nooo let my abusev brother be happy..

edgar was a victim at the beginning but when god gives u chances and u don't use them
then u r literally dumb
