Episode 13 – Secrets of the Silent Witch

The last episode The Secret of the Silent Witch It feels like two stories. First is Monica’s air battle with magical artifacts. I like this battle on both sides. First, we have an example of how Monica’s second school life helped her to be better The silent witch– By learning how to ride a horse, she now knows how to maintain balance while riding a broom. Then we got a great fake, and it seems Monica will be going to calculate hundreds of trajectories (if not thousands) of magic arrows around her to avoid them. Then she just turned off her flying magic, causing all spells to appear suddenly from the same, easily blocked direction when they fell. It’s a great “working smarter, harder” joke.

On the other hand, the second half of the episode is a more personal story. Last week, Felix learned that his lofty charm didn’t really work on Monica based on the rules and expectations of high society. To connect with her, you won’t buy her a beautiful bob; you attract her interest. Therefore, Felix The silent witch. Of course, Monica didn’t share this precise passion, but the bookstore is a great place to bring her. There, she discovers an unexpected treasure: a copy of the remaining father’s work.

This is the book she tried to remember because her page was burned down – she spent several days reciting, huddling in the abusive uncle’s house. However, she always knew that most of it was lost, and that she only had a piece of the work of her father for the rest of her life. But with this book, it seems that her father’s soul was returned to her. She may not be able to communicate with him in the real world, but through this book she can communicate with his ideas and mathematical formulas, which is much more understanding than he had when he died.

Felix’s purchase of the book for her means more important to her than essentially other possible gifts. But interestingly, it’s not enough for Felix. He bought the book for her. As for his own sake, he bought her a piece of jewelry. Now, neither the magical jewellery, the way to mark her as a friend of the intellectual, or the gifts that only resemble his normal way of giving, we don’t know. However, after getting the book, Monica would be happy to wear it.

Then this season The Secret of the Silent Witch Ending with bittersweet attitude – Despite the holidays being preserved, she spent the night with Felix and found a copy of her father’s research. At the end of the episode, she declares that for the moment, she is Monica Norton – not Monica Everett, The silent witch. While the swollen music and a happy montage make this seem like a good thing for Monica, it is actually the opposite. It reveals two self-destructive aspects of Monica’s current thinking process.

First of all, she believes that her personality as Monica Norton is different from that of Monica Everett, and all the changes and growth Monica Norton made at Monica Norton was related to that identity. This means that when she completes her mission or is found, she will recover to the young woman living on the hillside.

The second is Monica’s belief that those who have formed a friendship with her will not accept her idea as Monica Everett – they won’t treat her the way they are now. But honestly, her friends seem immature. Lana will be the most surprised (as her closest friend) but will eventually forgive Monica, with the rest of the cast being noble or their supporters. Monica reveals that she is a legend The silent witch They will mean that they are on an equal footing in society, rather than facing the difficulties of becoming friends with friendship after leaving school and entering a senior society, but are able to interact normally. After all, be a classmate and lifelong friend The silent witch If nothing else, it must be politically active.

Of course, Monica could not see anything because her trauma was still on her. That’s why despite all the positive steps she’s taken this season, Monica still has a long way to go.
