Violet Evergarden – Episode 13

As Violet protects Dietfried coming into this episode, it is clear where Violet’s emotions land. She wants to protect everyone who is dear to them no matter the costs. While the criticism of not killing is warranted. You can admire that Violet clearly is doing what she wants in her heart.

The visit to the Bougainvillea is significant as Violet struggles to figure out what to write to Gilbert. The big thing is that even if Gilbert has passed on, he is with all that he loved in their hearts. A reminder that Gilbert is watching her for the rest of her life. It feels fitting that Violet finally declares she doesn’t take orders and lives a life she wants since Gilbert wanted her to live as her own person.
