Ouch, that was too deep. But I still loved reading it piece by piece.<3

Amara is a pretty name, and I can't help but wonder if it was inspirated by an italian word perhaps?🤔 Because 'Amara' would mean 'bitter', but refering to a girl. And 'Mia' means 'mine', still refering to a girl. I'm asking because I'm actually Italian myself, so these were my observations to the matter!

And about Amara again...Ouch, I never experienced anything like she did, but as an empathic person myself, my heart feels sore for her. I can imagine her being so in sore about the whole situation (refering to her teenager years), that she would unload all the pain on sheets of paper with her signature on each ones. Those sheets contain sadness, anger, and acceptance. A mix that even she has difficulty understanding and explaining. But she has the feeling that Hannibal, her own father, is the cause of her constant confusion and eternal sadness. (Maybe that's also why Will is so scared to know what she may feel, maybe because he tried to read one of those sheets..)

And so she would try to turn the damage they have done, in some ways. Maybe one day when she strangely managed to get the attention of both her fathers, she would unload some kind of realization, that she always wanted to use as a dagger. To see a reaction, to be seen. To be understood. After all, Hannibal insisted so much on having an educated daughter, a lover of writing and literature, who knows how to communicate.

Hm, maybe she'd something like…

"Imagine being skinned alive, and then being told to function normally for the rest of your life. Get. Over. It."
(I read this somewhere, but I have some ideas in my head about what she would say or how she would express her feelings...If I get some ideas, I would totally share if that's okay.<3)

Yes, Amara means both bitter and love (variations of it) in different languages! I thought it was fitting hahaha.

I think she would be a Margot type of woman, you know? Keeps to herself, only finds strength later in life. I wonder about the dynamic of some universe where she and Mia meet each other. I know Mia would resent Abigail, but I wonder how she’d feel about Amara.
