@Jiji please don't read stories with this one track mind. Its like people are black and white minded overall... Even you are not that, not even me. It's story with dark setting.... Always don't rationalise people's action this way. They both are complex. Understand the character dynamics. I am saying this without justifying both of them, they both have their fair share of faults and thats make them human. Its just a story... And Mathiass did gave her the choice in the last....If you want bash the story either way, that's a different story. Read rom-com if that gives you peace.
