wait in s1? What ep/moment is that? I skimmed all moments with them and couldn’t find it…

And as we see amb’s strategy was distance. I see her putting rage from mel on someone else (on mel’s eyes too), putting walls between them. Her “you weakened me”: mb she never could hit her even if it’d be “right” if it’d “toughen her up”, all amb could do is pretend that she doesn’t have weak spots

it’s either was ~once or never. not regularly. I think Kino wouldn’t let it too It stays in body, relationally, i don’t see it in mel’s body while she’s close to amb. For her it’s nuanced mindfuck. She‘s doted, protected, beloved princess. Yet she’s alienated, exiled, ”lacking”

i see it as more hurtful/twisted & true to mel’s canonic trauma if ambessa never hit her. knowing her mom’s violence, never experienced it on herself=mom loves her. But if she loves her and abandones her that means it’s “mel’s fault”, she’s ‘the wrong one’, the poorest medarda, she “fell short”
