things happened please give me a comprehensive guide to apo please
I think the core of Apo’s character and story is “what if you did everything right and it wasn’t enough”. Like, this might not make sense because Yes, she is flawed!! She does bad things! And yet it’s still abundantly clear that Apo is the bigger person, who’s been victimized over, and over, and over again. She’s the cathartic tragedy of wondering “if I was kinder, smarter, stronger, would I have prevented it all? Is it my fault?” and knowing that no, it wasn’t. No, you couldn’t. And yet simultaneously, her story is about reclaiming agency. It’s about clawing your way out of hell and emerging bloodied and broken but alive. It’s about never getting justice, and it’s about surviving anyway.
