I keep seeing posts about how Roathe is telling a completely different narative about Ballas and Margulis (if not downright lying about their relationship) when the perspective he gives us is only expanding our knowledge of their relationship.
Roathe tells us that Ballas truly did love Margulis once, but once the Tenno were in the picture, they took his place as who she loved most.
He’s saying that what they had was love, but Ballas was at his core, Orokin. Once Margulis wasn’t focused on him, once his love was not satisfactory anymore, his love and devotion turned into obsession and cruelty.
So no, we aren’t being told two different stories about Ballas and Margulis. We’re being told how it started while we already know how it ended.
