I’m enjoying this show more than I thought I would. I’m also digging the world-building. High society isn’t all dainty women and gallant men. Rather, it’s seedy and grimy, full of sordid affairs and shadowy encounters. This is more of a mystery than your standard villainess anime. Scarlett has Constance running to and fro, gathering evidence and generally sticking her nose where it doesn’t belong. Problem is, it sounds like Scarlett’s former friend had already tried this. Perhaps due to being a shrewd woman, Lily Orlamunde dug too deep and learned too much. Whatever she uncovered eventually drove her to commit suicide. People usually take their own life to prevent themselves from even greater suffering. So assuming Lily wasn’t depressed, what sort of horrendous future was she trying to prevent?
