Not only did she crosses out the words 'the philosopher who' but she also replaced the name of the man with Indiana Celeste Mondiondo.
In her 60-item test, specifically number 12, Indiana answered 'True' in the question 'Is Sigmund Freud the philosopher who believed that we are a by-product of our experiences in the past?'. Is she certain about what she chose? Certainly not. She didn't know the answer. She didn't even care about the right philosopher. At that moment, the only thing that matters to Indiana is the rephrased question accompanied by random thoughts circulating inside her head.
Is her past built who she is right now? What if she's only using her trauma to be an asshole? What if she's using her past to justify what she did? What if she's the embodiment of a red flag?
And as odd as it is, she hated odd numbers but got herself tangled with three different men. It dawned on her that sometimes romance ain't it, and romance is her 13th reason.
