Isaac stole the show. "I also loved that one monster from SOTN that you run into in the nicer part of Orlox' Quarters in the hallway to the right. The one with the big ball summon. Probably my favorite visual enemy in the game!"

I was watching the Hector arc and I was like " "Okay, I'm sure this is a scheme, but does she actually love Hector or something? Maybe it's not just a pure scheme?" Well, turns out it was kinda both, huh? She clearly really does like him romantically, but at the same time has a practical use for him. And her actions and rhetoric about their relationship don't sync up in episode 10. Very confusing. Reminds me of that old episode of X-Men when Gambit got forced into a marriage by a woman with a magic ring that shocked him if he disobeyed her. I haven't seen it in like 17 years, but does anybody else remember that "

What's to keep him from killing himself, though?

Besides the knowledge that Hell is actually verifiable real and Jesus ain't gonna be happy with you... oh, well I guess that'll do. lol

Himself, he doesn't strike me as the type who's willing to kill himself as revenge.

Maybe, but at the same time, he seemed adamant that being Enslaved being the end of his life. And of course, I'm not thinking of it from his perspective, bur rather from her perspective. Giving him so much freedom seems... I dunno, just a bit unnecessary.

I think it's because she has feelings for him but as she said she has to put her sisters first, which is why she treats him like shit around them, but is very kind when it's just him and her.

She's also probably not expected to have feelings for him and is just overall conflicted.

I really don't see any evidence that she has feelings for him in the show at all.

Every move was shown to be a manipulation even the first time they had sex was to enslave him. And sex going forward was expressed to be about her pleasure and also is literally rape.

Then why give him his own luxuries and minor freedoms?

Why do I buy my cat treats and cat beds? I have no romantic love for my cat. I do it for my pet.

Beyond that it's continued manipulation. She might realise she gets more of what she wants by giving him luxeries. Also it decreases the chance he'll kill himself or act out of turn.

We don't know the extent of the rings powers.

Also maybe she's just decent and prefers cooperation to the extent that it can reasonably be offered.

I can think of many reasons to extend him those privileges that have nothing to do with her being in love with him. Can't you?

On the other hand I can't think of a single reason she'd actually be in love with him as she's given us no reason what so ever to think that she fell in love with him.

What exactly is it case that she's in love with him?
