( was it really too much to ask for? ) if manipulation was her only way of getting what she wanted, then yerim would do it proudly. there's no point of feeling such useless emotions such as guilt and remorse when she's only getting what she wants at the end of the day. she even dare to claim that its not even her fault that people always fell so easily for her trap, lulling them with her seemingly saccharine-sweet and affectionate nature : so blissfully unaware of her carefully weaving her tapestry of manipulation to ensnared them into her control.
