COMPLICITY THEORY!!!
***Potential Spoilers below!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
**TW: mention of su1c1d3**
Hear me out:
So the first chapter in complicity is 00, and it’s a little quote that says, “little does he know, she doesn’t want to be saved.”
Now, let’s assume the “she” is Aven, and the pov is a random stranger.
Here’s the theory!
What if the context of the quote, is a stranger is seeing Aven standing on the edge of a building, ready to jump, and he thinks she wants to be saved but “little does he know, she doesn’t want to be saved.”
NOW (stay with me!!!!) here’s why I think this:
I think throughout duplicity and complicity there’s been dozens of hints to Aven and Harry dying in the end, however we don’t know how this will happen at all.
So, let’s go back to Duplicity, Vegas wedding night, Aven and Harry are showering together, and Aven says to Harry: "you're gonna be the death of me."
SO, what if that is technically what will happen? What if Harry dies for some reason, and the pain of losing Harry drives Aven mad with heartache and eventually leads to her yk…. Dying at her own will to not use the word.
This would then give context to the quote from Complicity ch 00. The context being a stranger seeing Aven about to jump off and her not wanting to be saved.
PLUS! In the Philadelphia ch in duplicity, Harry taunts Aven with this scenario of them jumping off together, and leaving behind an untold love tale gone wrong, (which them jumping off together could also be an ending imo) but this would also make sense as foreshadowing for what Aven would end up doing. AND it would also show her character evolution, from her being terrified of the thought of jumping off, and now doing it by choice.
Ok I’m done.
Thank you if you actually read this.
