I sometimes think about the scene where Athy overjoyed at hearing Claude had waken up and came rushing to him, no etiquette, only in her sleep gown and messy hair only to realize he had forgotten her. Everything was gone. Their connections, memories, etc. She was back to zero.
She still clutching some hopes until his birthday banquet where he publicly humiliated her in front of all those nobles and foreign delegations. His chilling words denying her, insulting her were reminiscent of the LP!Claude. Here, he was no different from the man who had ordered her past self's death. This situation was no different from that fateful debutante where Jennette was introduced and where Athy's social reputation was effectively gone.
Sometimes i wonder if in another universe would she have made another choice. Where she can no longer hope that Claude's fickle love would save her from his dangerous temperament nature. Where the plot or fate or some mystical higher being was seemingly yanking the story back to its correct course of the Lovely Princess world.
A world where she had to die. Would die.
But not if she killed him first.
