This is where Pietro breaks my heart.❤️😭

He denies Luciano's responsibility for his actions, putting all the blame on Ms. Mauvais. Not only is this harmful to Lily sitting next to him, who was put through hell by Ms. Mauvais and Luciano herself: But it's also a rabbit hole of making excuses. If Luciano was only a victim of grooming and manipulation, the same could be said for Ms. Mauvais, in which case all the blame should be shifted to Itamar, and so forth. Pietro fails to realize that his brother has been caught in a cycle of abuse that made him both a victim and a perpetrator.

As the leader of the Terces Society, Pietro should know better. But his human flaws get the better of him here. It's character moments like this that make me love Pseudonymous Bosch so much.

The Secret Series-Ms. Mauvais

Did you know that "mauvais" in French means "bad"? Ironically, Pseudonymous Bosch chose the masculine form of the adjective instead of the feminine form("mauvaise"). At first, I thought it was a coincidence that he chose that name for her, but when Cass writes a ransom note pretending to be Dr. L and Ms. Mauvais, she signs it as "Dr. L and Ms. Movay". When I first read the book, I didn't see it as significant, but now I realize that it proves that PB purposely chose that name for the female villain. Since Cass hadn't seen Ms. Mauvais's name spelled out yet, she wrote it phonetically, and "mo-vay" is how you pronounce "mauvais". (Had it been the feminine form, it would have been pronounced "mo-vase") Clever, PB.
