He was "touching her" to keep her from cutting herself...at the very least she believed that if she did so she would be destined to take his throne, it's unclear whether he believed it but they were 12 so it's possible. But regardless, he was not touching her when the knife made contact with his face and he would not bring the knife towards his own eye...even a child can see that. No, I don't buy that for one second. And she didn't need to swing towards him...her hand just had to be pressing towards him when he was trying to wrestle the knife from her and when he let go the hand just continued on its way and striking him.He was literally touching her when it was pulled and only lets go of the knife to cover his eye after he was injured. LIke I said you can say whatever shit you want about Cass true self or whatever I don't really care. But you are intentionally lying and ignoring the actual events of the scene to justify your own bias against the character. It happened exactly like I just said. They were both in a tug of war over the knife and mc got injured because they were stupid kids playing with knives.
If your so convinced that Cass was intentionally trying to stab the mc and we are all misreading the scene why would the mc let go of the knife in the first place? He was very clearly trying to take the knife from her the second before he got injured, why would he just suddenly stop pulling? Also it's not that he let go and her hand flug towards him. Is that he pulled her hand in his direction as he was trying to wrestle control of the knife from her and it grazed him. And why do you think we are saying he dragged the knife to his face? That's not what happened. The knife was already outstretch and upword so when he pulled the knife in his direction it scratched his face because it's a sharp object pointed upward.
Like I said I don't really care whether you like Cass or not, think she's a psych or not but you don't have to blatantly lie to try to make that point. They were wrestling over the knife, it got too close to the mc's face and he got scratched. It's pretty simple. Also why would cass need to shift blame in the first place. If she wanted the mc gone she could have actually stabbed him or cut his throat or anything
