If comments give motivation, I will try to break my usual silence because this series is worth it. Thank you for sharing this story with us readers. I was really looking forward to the birthday vision. And while the vision itself was less of a spoiler than last year's vision, the emotions and reactions of the family are quite telling. Mama's view was particularly potent. The maids trying to separate the children (Rosa specifically?) from her parents and the advice to momma about keeping distance from children could be cultural but in light of last year's vision of "they were beside us and not on our side from the very beginning", I'm starting to suspect, alongside Rosa, if Ms Gerta is with the Church, trying to make the family easier to pick apart later to get Lily alone. On a different note, it makes such sad, terribly realistic sense that Maria would want to spare her children from her own childhood bullying about being unladylike but wouldn't realize how much damage she would cause by calling her daughters weak all the time. So believable, so many feelings. All the characters have so much depth. 😭 Thank you for making me cry. Also, not sure if it works that way, but I kinda hope that one day Rosa will have a memory flashback while holding Lily's hand and Lily will share the memory then ask about JJ or Meng in front of the parents.
