As angsty and harrowing as all these new developments are, I do think it's kind of funny/ironic that Penelope didn't forsee this possibility with Eclis before now. Like, the whole reason any of this is happening is because girl got herself trapped in an otome game. Bad ends with an obsessed yandere are a pretty common feature in otome games. Penelope's gotta get good.
In all seriousness, I understand why someone realistically would forget about game mechanics when they're constantly afraid for their life, but still. Kinda funny that all this drama is still par for the course in a dating sim.
