I’m just wondering what the heck Dottore must’ve gone through in his childhood to think that relationships are transactional. The closer you get to him, the more freely he uses you.
He genuinely doesn’t even understand what he did wrong towards Columbina. The fact that Sandrone saw the falling out between those two from a miles away… That must mean that Dottore wasn’t even hiding the way he treated Columbina.
He saw her as his sister, and that’s why he treated her worse than other Harbingers—because she got so close to him.
So, how did Dottore’s own family treat him as a child? Was he used? Extorted? Abused? Manipulated?
So many questions…
