  1. You can tell she misses him so much. Grief is so tough. I think she's been trying to not speak about him for years. Probably hasn't even started to deal with the grief. Ending a relationship due to addiction, running to someone else to escape the chaos of it after trying again and again for them to stop only to hear they OD. The pain is unimaginable. The guilt, the agony, the what ifs, I really empathise. I have gone through it myself and wouldn't wish it on anyone

  2. Ari knows grief too well. I'm glad she has found Cynthia on her journey to happiness. I feel like, Cynthia was meant to heal her so that she could be emotionally prepared for her actual forever person. She deserves a healthy partnership to feel safe in if or when she's ready. 🩷

  3. Their both slaves to the divine feminine spirit. That spirit is now tormenting Ariana just like it tormented mac. The price of partaking in the forbidden fruit and becoming your own god. Madness in exchange for knowledge and power. That spirit for their stardom they expirenced requires blood. I guess mac choose to spill his own instead of giving up someone he loved
