#vasili was the last person he saw when he died the betrayal he must have felt is so angsty (i love it)

Do you lay awake at night thinking about Bas's tragic death and how he died at the hands of his favorite brother whom he has looked up to his entire life or are you normal?

I don't know exactly what it is but I really relate to how lonely Bas was?? Like he didn't really ever have someone he could be vulnerable around. He didn't have any close friends, no genuine romantic partner, and his family was full of people who would exploit any of his secrets/insecurities for their own gain. Not to mention his literal job and his dedication to the Act put a target on his back like this man did not know peace. No wonder being around a literal snake was peaceful for him imao

I always assumed that's why he "had feelings" for Juliana. Through my general observation, lonely people tend to mistake platonic acts of kindness for romantic gestures. They also tend to assume their feelings towards these people offering their kindness is romantic. Juliana was one of the few people who were sympathetic to the plight of Eveline's children so it makes sense that Bas would assume that he was romantically attracted to her when their close relationship could have also been platonic

I mean, it's not like he explicitly declares his love for his family either, even though there are moments where it's obvious he cares about them, so maybe he's just someone who believes actions speak louder than words idk. I have too much to say about my favorite snobby baguette welp I'm so embarrassed not

Or if Vasili ended up being King since he pointed out that Bas would have been a close roya #-advisor. so many things to think about #playchoices #mir's musings 💬 #sebastyan thorne #vasili thorne #choices book club #crimes of passion 2 #juliana georgescu #eveline goncharov
