@ed If I remember correctly, she herself has mental illness. The character she possessed had the same. Her step brother is literally holding her hostage mentally and gaslighting her and manipulating her that no one loves, cares or believes her. That is what she also believes or often has negative thoughts about when it comes to trusting ppl...even tho many are starting to truly care about her. Her character itself is someone many ppl despised. I forgot the beginning part of whether the body she possessed dies earlier which she tries her best to get past and she did. But the longer or deeper the story goes, she has more to deal with. It doesn't seem like she's just a character possessing a body in a novel anymorebut truly living this miserable life that she's suffering from.
