Alright, Alicia is finally getting to actually do Villainess things. She is playing out all her schemes, doing her best to be the Eminence Villainess in Shadow of this world.
I am not quite sure what her plan is with Rebecca in this prison colony. Rebecca is going to be some sort of local hero? I don’t really see why the residents would buy that or how it helps her ultimate aim of reintegrating the town into the rest of the Kingdom. However, she definitely has something in mind… @rikka@ani.social
Duke continues to be super creepy with his obsession over Alicia. He essentially abducts her this episode and pins her against the wall. Not cool man, learn some boundaries (also she is 13 lest we forget).
A weird thing happened when Alicia was confronting Liz about her essay. One of the guys had his eyes briefly flash golden. It was just a couple frames before he blinked it away, but I have no idea what it is meant to signify.

I was confused by that too. My theory is that it’s an indicator for affection level. Alicia has already deviated from the original plot of the game quite a bit so I imagine some of the NPCs would be affected by Alicia’s “villainess”-ness.

That…makes a lot of sense. I had come up with all these ideas about the golden color and how it related to the golden rose signifying Liz as the saint. But then I was confused why it happened while Alicia was talking.
I like this theory way more. I think my brain was trying to read way too much into a silly otome show.
