Okay, it did eventually get very sapphic! The relationship between characters isn’t the focus of the story, but it works as a lens to frame Lenore’s change of view from external to internal through the changes she views in those around her.

So far I wouldn’t actually describe this retelling of Carmilla as sapphic. That could change, but as of right now Carmilla is a “mirror” of Lenore’s inner desire and rage.

The few moments we do have of Lenore’s attraction to Carmilla seem less sapphic than her idolizing Carmilla’s sexuality in comparison to her own repressed sexuality.
