Does someone else think that the original "author" of the book was Prince Everett?? Like maybe he wanted to change the "reality" he was living in, ie, stuck in a jail with his dad forever scared and wrote the novel featuring *himself* as the ML instead of Pellus which got sent out somehow to Lithera's original world and instead ended up precipitated the whole events lololol. Maybe that's why the priest guy detected clear malice from it and why Pellus didn't want to reveal his suspicions of the author being Everett (maybe he sensed Snotty prince's signature "aura" or whatever since technically they belong to the same family) cause he thought it would shock Lithera too much to know that her favorite book was written by her least favorite person??
Okay so no shade here truly, but is it possible that it's the mother whose having a psychosis/hallucination break from reality? Like maybe it's her who is acting like her daughter is a baby again (hence the anxious glances from the little girl to her mom) all while believing, in her mind, that her daughter is the one tormenting her?? Like maybe its been her all along who is keeping that girl from going to school (or outside really) by making excuses on her behalf because of her untreated anxiety over "losing" another of her baby? Just a theory
It could very well be a case of unreliable narrator as we're seeing everything from the mom's POV
The girl lost it that one time in front of her grandma too. It is not purely with the mom only.
Hmm True True...
Well this is an interesting theory. I wonder how the whole story will play out
