@gabeatethesoap i would also like to add that he eventually introduces a male love interest/plot device for marie. oh and he's a brown man with a pet monkey has the "blood of an african panther"
@gabeatethesoap ok so- do you got to the part where a girl named jeanne appears?
she comes back as a dominatrix prostitute (lol) and is arrested for money crimes or smth. and, well. she's raped in jail. twice. and of course she's treated as a hysterical bitch who just want to be rich
