#adding clickbait tags i need this to be acknowledged

[lucindasthighs]

I feel so bad for Michi in Emerald Secret. Remembering that she was NEVER FREED FROM HER FOREVER POTION makes me want to throttle someone.

She never asked to be drugged and manipulated; she just wanted to be her usual petty self. Everyone in-universe and out went "ugh, typical michi 🙄" as if she wasn't literally controlled.

And that fact that "aarmau-threatening meifwa" was replaced by Kai, who really did nothing wrong before, makes me think Jess KNEW she couldn't bring Michi back without addressing what the fuck happened, and she didn't want to. Like, is she just wandering around, still convinced that Ein is her brother? When she already has one??

Please please please someone tell me I'm stupid and just forgetting when she got freed because I'm gonna cry.
