Thinking About How Aleksander Called Alina An Apt Pupil...and Thinking About How Alina Spent All Of Shadow

thinking about how aleksander called Alina an apt pupil...and thinking about how Alina spent all of shadow and bone feeling stupid and kept belittling herself for being a slow learner when it came to all the grisha theory and controlling the light and how she carried that complex of thinking very little of her own intellectual capacity throughout the rest of the trilogy even though she made sm progress(up until the last battle)...and despite that or because of that perhaps, aleksander called her an apt pupil...

"Life had felt so guaranteed, frankly life had felt like a curse she had to endure. But Aleksander made it feel like something else. When she let him, he made her feel like her breaths were worth taking"

I will never accept Alina's ending because I know that the worst kind of loneliness is not when you are alone, but when the people around you, consciously or unconsciously, reject you. For those around her, she is now just some strange half-crazy person, and Mal will never accept her for who she really is😭
