>>116198123>"It would have been hard to tell him!""It would've been hard" is never an excuse for not doing the right thing.
He went out every day working raising money, first to buy an engagement ring, then to buy her a store.
She led him on. That is not up for debate. She told him she wanted his last name, she talked about the future they'd have together, she did the number crunching to see how much more hard labor he'd have to do in order to buy that store.
Meanwhile she was writing a book that could've been summed up with the words "you should stop working so hard for that future, because it's not gonna happen."
It was a thick book at that. Not exactly a pamphlet.
She did not show the basic decency to let him know early on that she didn't think the future he was trying to build was one she wanted.
And after her far-too-late confession destroyed him, we've seen no indication that she really cared what became of her oldest friend.
He fell into a deep depression, she partied at orgies.
This isn't what I "wanted to see." She seemed like a cute kid, what I wanted to see was her grow up to be a halfway decent adult. Instead Incase wrote a character utterly undeserving of sympathy.
Bad person. And a bad story too.
