disrespectfully, I need nino sarratore to drop dead !
ahhhhh the drama in this installment was crazy. Lila + Lenu make me insane, actually. They’re relationship is so complex. The girls are fighting, battling the shared restrictions of their environment in very different ways, and remain inseparable despite the animosity between them!
your honor, they love each other, I know it! They’re just so, so bad at expressing it, and men 😐 keep getting in the way!!!
