the whole time im reading this i am reminded of that pick me girl video "stoopp look at me! this isn't you" lmao also this is my opinion but i think the pigtails girl think the divorce absolutely wont happen bcs she knows how the novel is supposed to end with her being the OG FL and all,,, would explain her narcissistic acts thinking ethel would never hate her and the divorce would never happen,, i should read the novel spoilers
my goofy ass wondering why cant she just paint a cure for her or maybe a potion that could prolong her life (/TДT)/ i feel sad after reading the spoilers:(
I think it's because a causal-effect kind of thing. She probably would be able to make it, but it would not do her anything because she will be consuming the life force that she already extract of herself to make the painting. Now... if she give the cure to another art disease affected person, it would work for them because it would be made with "new" life energy.
This is only a theory of my, because it would fit the theme and ambiance of the novel.
