The LN was leagues beyond this ngl. Hell, this movie didn’t even tell us why Ains gave neia that weird face mask thing. It was cos he found her eyes creepy. I mean, it does try to condense two whole books into one movie so understandable that a lot of content would have to be cut. I also don’t like how we’re missing Neia’s perspective on everything. That alone is the reason why I love those two books, because of how twisted her outlook is and how it gets more and more twisted as we reached the climax.
