| bizarre...out of all the episodes so far, this one is far from bad writing, this is how reality actually works...like the MC said, the judge and butler are both bought off and corrupt (it seems a lot of the comments here don't realize this). We know this because the MC pointed out that there was no marked stick to begin with...the whole picking a marked stick was another farce by the judge to rig the butler into being the one to do the blood drop so that he could drop his own blood in instead of the wife's blood (if the judge was not involved in rigging this process, there would be an actual marked stick and anyone else dropping the blood would obviously ruin the entire rigging). So the end result is only natural as it was always a farce to begin with and there was never a fair trial and regardless of the MC exposing them, there was nothing he could do since the entire court is literally rigged against them. In the end the MC chose to protect Atelier instead of sacrificing everything (a life on the run would not be what's good for Atelier after all, although I completely understand the desire to see justice for those clowns). That is life though...full of unfairness and as a regular person, you are powerless. If you don't think I'm right, I'd suggest looking around you...check the news. I'd prefer if this was a more SoL series myself, but this episode is more real and better written than previous episodes that were written based on chars being so dumb they basically willingly walked into their own tragedy. We even got the backstory on Atelier and a bit on the MC as well. If there is one possible questionable part about this episode, it is that they even bothered to confirm that she was the daughter of her father instead of rigging the first test and ended up giving her this treasure of valuable books. But this is explainable as falsely claiming she is completely unrelated to her father (and therefore the Workstatt bloodline) could end up backfiring on them whenever she ends up awakening her bloodline power, which would prove that she is indeed a Workstatt. So claiming that she is an illegitimate child is the better scheme. That said, I find it hard to believe that Joseph didn't even bother checking if the books are valuable at all and gave them away willingly. Heath didn't really look that much alike to me (maybe it's the tired/dead eyes), I thought he was the father or uncle or something at first, but he did say counterpart so ig not...Honestly based on episode 1, I thought MC was the boy in the street with dead eyes (ie. during the scene when he saw Atelier being sold and had a glimpse of his past self?), but we did see that he was working in the Blacks restaurant so maybe he got adopted to be a body double of Heath or something but then ran away? At least it seems like he felt guilty about it given that he said he didn't know how to show his face and apologize...or maybe Heath was the adopted boy and the body double and he (the legitimate heir) ran away from home? Either way, I'm glad that there's an explanation regarding his godly cooking skills (since he worked at Blacks and prob had training there) and it wasn't just random |
