I think that depends on what Eudora West expected at the time she gave her son the ring. She, like, died in a car crash within an hour of handing over the ring. If she didn't expect to die, then she gets the benefit of the doubt, since there is no evidence she wanted to burden her son in such a way.
Imo she was aware of the danger shes in (and even that daddy is gonna try to kill her), otherwise why give MC the ring in the first place? We can only hope that she thought that daddy wouldnt harm his own son. Maybe it was the drug which turned the daddy THIS evil and it was hard to imagine for the mom who knew the dad before the drug.
He's so clownslike evil that i hope the drug is the reason lol
Yeah, that's something that bothers me as well.
Why do all the incidental characters on the island not cotton on to the resets of Sea and the MC?
That calls into question: Who are they? Are they cyborgs? Are they willing participants (kinda like The Truman Show)? Are they simply patsies that get selective memories erased when necessary (kinda like The Dark City)?
We know Teagan and Synne are in on the act and don't get reset, presumably. What about Geneva? Does she get reset in some way?
Also, I am still trying to work out what the connection is between the Euphoria drug and the whole cyborg/AI enterprise. How are they related to each other?
Good call on the wine drug being the reset drug. Did the MC really experience death the first time around, or was Ana simply speaking metaphorically? Was it even the MC she killed? Maybe it was the malfunctioning MC cyborg and somewhere in the AI soup, it's memories are bleeding into the real MC.
