in the usa there were many serial killer. one of them was good enough in manipulating, that much, he made his victim to open his car after he locked out himself. there is a few question.
why was the car locked? the victim locked herself to be safe from the serial killer? what other reasons could be behind the locked car?
why did she unlocked it after she locked it? she started trust in the serial killer? she calmed down? why? that is the "magic" of the manipulation. a skill to get your desired outcome instead of the another person's desired outcome. it is kind of forcing, without the victim would know that he or she is actually forced. /is actually under the manipulator's influence.
and what has to do with the actual speaking here?
quin... nothing admited she manipulated Rio.
how much resposibilite has Rio while she wasnt truly free, her freedom was only seeming/apparent?
nobody will be suprised that i say, very little. Rio was wrong when she accepted nothing in her own life. nothing ruined her life, but it is on nothing. not on Rio. being manipulated is not your responsibility. example mc being beaten down by Chad at ep3... it is not mc's responsibility.
it is painful to admit, because i dont like Sage. but Rio and Sage are a little bit alike. both are bad at choosing friend(s). both are too trusting. both are too good soul.
