Gray asked Cheryl R. Cowtan:

Gräfen's is a good character but I think he had more to give…he "wants" Rachel but even though, he really needs his wife, not, Rachel. That's before been place under Magda's & family hands. A woke up and been back think is in order. 6. Rachel is strong even when she let the Fergus-She out. How to preserved this symbiotic relation without loosing their own beings?

Cheryl R. Cowtan I agree. Gräfen has more to give. I can think of a number of ways to let Gräfen back out, and a number of reasons. He's one of those grey villains. Can he be good? Or good enough that we can forgive him his transgressions? Can Rachel ever be free if Gräfen is free? Maybe Gräfen is the only "man" who could handle and/or tolerate Rachel. But can Rachel go backwards? She just made a good choice. I think she has to go forwards, unless she has no choice and must release Gräfen to survive.

Another great question. How can Rachel and Scarlett find a compromise? How can they allow each to live? And would it ever work? Scarlett is too vicious. Unless Rachel could control her, Scarlett can't be let out to play. This is a good question. I'll let it percolate and see what my imagination comes up with.
