I just love Farnese! π Iβm glad you made the parallel between her behavior and the way Guts behaved. The new found sense of family that she never really had before and found with Gutsβs group. Her going back to her own dysfunctional family and being entangled in an engagement, feeling like she lost something she had, along the way learning more about herself, that was always Gutsβs pattern as well. I was thinking about this the other day, I can name two other characters that are similar to Guts. Itβs like different aspects of him are reflected in other characters. We have seen them already, as the story goes along, it will be more obvious.... we arenβt quite there yet. Iβm glad Farnese is still practicing her magic, even though she doubts her abilities. She never would have even tried before!
