What's more, from Elizabeth's perspective it might feel like Fisher stabbed her a thousand times over, while barely a few cuts ever landed on him himself.
Then, looking at it from another angle—does Elizabeth alone feel this way?
What about the other women?
Rafael, Moli, Valentina...
No, it's not that they don't feel it. They just never told Fisher.
Fisher couldn't help but recall how Rafael, when she learned that the one Moli adored was him, had cried in that restrained, cautious way; he thought of his mother‑in‑law Yaril's humble pleading, thought of Moli's muttered monologues back in the Demon Dynasty.
He had come back with Elizabeth, and even that wasn't enough to satisfy her. Then what about Valentina, who had wanted to drag him away, yet watched with eyes wide open as he let go and left with Elizabeth?
Are these feelings things that don't exist unless spoken aloud? Only once Elizabeth voiced them today could they finally be named and defined?
