I don't like the clarification that most likely no one died during the fire. Let Lenore unintentionally kill in the name of love. It would add some drama and spice.
(especially if she had said outright she didn't really care about potential victims, because these maids and butlers treated her like a wild animal they had to keep an eye on so why should she care when they don't)
I really don’t understand why this is a bad thing.
Lenore just wanted to be free, not a heartless killer
If she could avoid any causalities, she would at least try.
Just bc she potentially despises the maids for how they treated her, it don’t mean that she would want them dead.
It's not exactly a bad thing, but it feels like lowering the stakes and trying to justify Lenore at the last moment even though none of the readers blamed her.
Yes, she wanted to be free and save Annabel, and wasn't it logical in her situation to want it too desperately to think about the safety of her jailors? There's a big difference between wanting them dead and not worrying if something happens to them because there are more important priorities.
I don't need her to be a heartless killer, I was completely satisfied when this question remained open: maybe someone died in the fire, maybe not. That's not the point, the point is that Lenore was willing to take any risk to escape. Any risk.
At the end of the first season, we had "Lenore is ready to burn the whole world to the ground and risk innocent people to get to Annabel and even though it terrifies Annabel, she's charmed by that because no one has ever done something like this for her before." But now its more like "Lenore waited an extra month to keep the staff she doesn't like safe thus risking losing time because by the time Leo arrived Annabel could have already let someone beat her at chess". I wonder why we like the first option more huh.
