Imlie did not have any proof of MC's involvement and when MC is stating that she has moved on, then how should Adi believe Imlie? On MC's involvement. It was the first time when MC was blamed of something this big and that too against Adi, who is her closest friend and confidant. Imlie chose to believe SK... Why? He did not have any proof that MC was involved. It was because he was closest to her and gave his side of story. Imlie chose to believe him. Why can't Adi have that same amount of faith in someone else too? Hasn't he spend ample amount of time with MC or that she has been closest to him, so much so that he couldn't even realise their relationship to be friendship from his side. It becomes a matter of conflict for Adi because Imlie blames the person who has been the closest to him. He believed MC not only because there was no proof but also because according to him she didn't have any reason to do what Imlie is accused her of. My points are only made on both their choices of people they believe in. Imlie letting SK escape did start the damage in their relationship and that is something that Adi is still circling back to and is unable to have full faith on her. I still feel she was wrong to let him go only because she was ready to send him to jail then she could've also waited for proper investigation too. If she is letting him escape then how will MC get caught without any proper investigation. She wanted equal punishment then how will they get equally punished if the shooter is running free? By law, the person who committed the crime is to be caught in order to catch the instigator too. At that time Adi believed Imlie to take the right decision. That is why he let her speak to him alone.
Blue2: How will telling him do any good when he himself deleted the proof. His choice again circles back to his faith in MC to be a good human that nullifies all of Imlie's claims.
Blue3: It again comes down to the question of IF. That scenario of choices after his full knowledge of being rape victim, never happened. So we cannot exactly say how he would've reacted.
@bold: But how do we know that he knows the truth. He never from his own mouth or monologue ever said that he was raped.🤷♀️ most of us are only speculating that he knows about it and is still mum about it. Again it comes down to choices. Who would Imlie believe if she had to make the same choices between SK and Adi. First time only she chose to believe SK without even thinking whether or if Adi would listen to her side of story or not and Adi chose to believe Imlie even after knowing what SK meant to her.
Both of them chose to believe the people closest to them. I have never blamed Adi for trusting MC cz there is a lot of history between them will definitely blame him for his negligence towards Imlie's pain and sufferings. His failure to not acknowledge Imlie's concerns.
