### Summary
A pivotal childhood flashback continues to unravel the origins of the twins' cursed bond, focusing on Johannes's early and explicit romantic confession to a young Giovinetta. Her innocent, confused rejection starkly contrasts with her later claims of harboring a lifelong forbidden love, introducing an element of unreliable narration that complicates their entire history. This moment has resonated with readers, who interpret it as the foundation of a tragic misunderstanding. Many see Giovinetta not as a willing participant in the incestuous dynamic from the start, but as a victim of circumstance, forced to adopt cruelty as a defense mechanism within a vicious cycle of abuse initiated by her father—a trauma still fresh in readers' minds from the recent killing of the family panther. The central conflict is increasingly viewed through the lens of Idris, the ancient devil within Johannes. Readers express frustration that Idris projects his obsession with the original Giovinetta Ducommun onto the current Giovinetta, failing to see her as a separate person and expecting a love she doesn't yet feel. This transforms his affection into a selfish, possessive force, blind to her own suffering and psychological torment. The revelation that Johannes is essentially a reincarnation of Idris who still feels unloved, even in this new life as her brother, deepens the sense of a wretched, inescapable fate. This exploration of their divergent pasts and broken psyches leaves the audience deeply sympathetic yet disturbed, viewing the pair as tragic figures trapped by inherited trauma and a love corrupted from its very inception.
