Review
Damn! And I thought it couldn’t get any more messed up! The set up for this whole episode has been so good that I’m not entirely sure I agree with Reg’s decision to allow Faputa into the village when the season started I distrusted everyone in the village and now I really don’t want to see them hurt. Reg didn’t really have a choice though I suppose, I just worry now how anyone will be able to handle Faputa. She’s beyond reason and has every right to be.
Poor Vueko having to not only re-live her rape but then be kinda blamed for it by Wazukyan has got me hating him even more than I did and I already knew he was sketchy. It’s like he knows she’ll blame herself but also knew that Reg would choose to let the Princess in so he’s got his own little plan already forming and I do not trust him one little bit.
