incel!peruere & arle/vie. clervie never joined the hearth and since cruca often neglected her to focus on the hearth, she has a lot of freedom. however, she's also unaware of what crucabena does and feels hate towards the hearth for taking away her mother's attention. when cruca introduces her to peruere for the first time, she immediately hates him but can't help feeling attracted to him. he's gross, he's rude, he's condescending, he took her mother away, but he's cute. and peruere is obsessed and in love, but his idea of romance is completely fucked. crucabena never taught him how to control his curse fully, so he's always unstable and emotional. but he's still observant and knows that clervie wants him and sexually harasses her constantly because he thinks he knows what she wants.
