Why, Thomas, Why? (Peace Talks Spoilers)
Bad Alias:
--- Quote from: Grifter on July 16, 2020, 09:31:06 PM ---Or a young Thomas saw Justin at Raith's house after Margaret left. They were supposedly contemporaries, and there are theories that they were all plotting together. No reason to think that came to a stop after Margaret left.
--- End quote ---
Or before Margaret left and after Thomas was born.
Grifter:
He would have been five or younger at that point. I don't know about other people, but I don't think I'd recognize someone I saw a few times before I was six. But maybe.
Bacail:

--- End quote ---
Im pretty sure She is N-fected.
BrainFireBob:
I think she wants "out" to protect her baby.
The true love angle does tend to make readers sympathetic, but this is a very damaged woman. The mental health issues, falling in love with a born predator; living among the same, the entire nature of their relationship (she brings in other people so she and Thomas can be together, that's a bit predatory on its own as presented)- she is not necessarily a nice woman.
The open question has always been, what does she know? The the Raiths are killers and how? That's probably a given; being Lara's secretary means she probably has to make "arrangements." A twist that may be out there- she doesn't how they become vampires or how it's passed on. She may think it's something done to them, instead of something that happens on its own unless prevented by circumstance. So, you could plausibly have a scenario where she doesn't "blame" Thomas for what he is- but thinks that if she escapes with the baby, it can be "normal."
Vairelome:
I'm not saying that the True Love angle makes Justine a saint, or definitely inclined to make the best choices, but practically by definition, it must make her loyal to Thomas. I'll accept theories where she was genuinely deceived, but not ones where she willingly betrayed Thomas. She's been quite consistently devoted to him.
