Hot take but I wonder if the reason Semiu isn’t able to “see” Tamsy’s true essence, for whatever reason or another is because
1. Tamsy doesn’t actually have a “truly” dark essence and isn’t a genuinely awful evil person (that would be a neat twist, not to excuse him being a crazy mentally ill bastard or his actions, but it adds another layer to his character)
2. He believes what he’s doing is genuinely write or that whole act of love spiel
3. He has some ability to “mask” or fool her in some way which would be reaaallly cool
Could even be a mix of the 3 idk
Also Corvus is super observant, leader type shit 🤨 idk how he doesn’t suspect anything like, he gotta right???
Dude I really need more Semiu in my life and know more about her (and no not just cuz she’s hot and well written and I need her to be my gf ahem—)
Nothing gets beyond semiu so its gotta be 1 or 2. Honestly him believing hes completely right and a good person for what hes doing. He believes his way is the only right way.
But i also theorize that he is brainwashed, and isn't truly just crazy, so him not truly having a dark essence would honestly be good to me, but isn't as likely to happen imo.
