Wow so far S2 is way better than S1.
It feels like the author has put in a lot more thought into the characters.
Ibee running away because she was scared is a pretty good reason because fear isn't rational.
And because she was a maid there was a lot she had to fear from!
IbeeXAle still feels a little weird sometimes but honestly since Ibee was gone for so long, if the feelings were shallow they would've ended.
That's why it doesn't feel like 'grooming' or something equally creepy.
They've spent years apart with no direct communication.
