I agree completely.This here, it seems to me, is an invitation to a philosophical debate about rehabilitation versus punishment. Guaranty versus criminality. I don't think this is the place for something that big. But, in this case, and I believe that in any case of rape, and more a premeditated rape, with the only objective of harming a specific person, whose actions derived in the loss of loved ones, there is no way not to understand it as "evil". If the revenge was only to kill Cassie, we could begin to discuss if there is any other way to think of these characters, but no, they have instigated, planned and executed an action that not only does not deserve any forgiveness, it does not even deserve to be considered to bring up any kind of mental illness, because that would be a technicality that in my country would take him to a mental institution and not to jail.
And it seems to me cheating on your part Captain, to bring this up, since you are the author, only you know what the future holds, even, only you know 100% of the motivations of your creations. At the same time, it is you who must accept that the majority of us see these twins as evil.
And I accept without any problem that you may see them as evil. I do see them as evil myself. I believe that should be the normal emotional response.
But I'm talking more about the analytical response. The one that could have legal repercussions, as you mention them.
But anyway, You are right. This isn't the place for a debate I actually didn't intend to instigate.
