-That detail about the last letter Louise wrote starting out normally and then by the last page she can't control her hand anymore :(
* Heinrich started behaving a bit better toward Mina immediately after Fritz died? Of course he did. She's no longer a reminder of Fritz's ongoing power and abuse, but past power and abuse, which is slightly less painful.
Ohhhhh of course, I should have realized this but mostly I was just relieved for Mina *sigh*
* And FW2 is now siccing people Mina doesn't like on her staff? For ten plus years?? THERAPY.
I knoooooow! What was UP with that, "oh, I'll move him as soon as I can," TEN YEARS LATER??
Which made me realize that, yep, that marriage lasted 50 years. Fritz/EC, 53. As I said about my grandparents' 61-year unhappy and abusive marriage: what a waste. :/ Divorce for everyone!
Geez. That is really a waste. :(
Yeah, it was a good decision to read this after Heinrich and AW, although I'm seriously side-eyeing both of them way more now. (Still OK with Heinrich fic for Yuletide, though! Just saying :) )
