Do you ever think about how even when Viola’s memories had fully faded, her trauma never did? How she still walked the halls and went to stare at the bed her child would have used like when she was sick and forced to stay away? And then think of how, leading up to her wedding, grown-up Flora has been suffering from horrible nightmares of the death of her soon-to-be husband and being forced to live on without him? How even though she’s long forgotten bly manor and what she suffered through, that trauma is still ingrained in her even 20 years later? Because I can’t let it go
