Self-immolation is horrifying, no matter the reason.

Remember how the Juliettas discussed the possibility of incest in between Camello and their daughter?  Well, it wasn’t because she was his first cousin, as marriage between such kin is not disallowed in many Rromani groups.  Camello and Marlborina’s affair would’ve been incestuous and inexcusably marime because he’s her adoptive brother.  This is why Lucky brought up that the incest thing when Camello tried to kidnap the bride, even before he became aware of the their tryst.  You read that right, brother and sister by law.  That boy gets more scandalous by the second, doesn’t he?

On that note, I think I shall now be sick.
