>>2152321>The anime version in particular could just as easily show how she was rejected by everyone she knew after her rape due to accusations of being a prostituteI doubt that because I doubt she shared with anyone.
>Although the anime is the only version where it's implied she was rapedIt's clearly shown in the anime, and it's strongly implied as early as the U-boat scene in both the manga and anime, when she tells Rock she was beaten up by cops for a crime she didn't commit, she probably refers to that same event. When Rock says he's sorry, she tells him to shut up, that she doesn't want his pity, and that if she did she'd whore up the story more or something similar. If you think about it it was pretty clear from the start that she hid something of that nature from Rock, otherwise why wouldn't she tell him the whole story?
>So the "giving it and taking it" part is purely from the English versionMaybe not. In my French translation Rowan says something kinda similar, but he's actually referring to both hitting and getting hit, not the sexual act itself, and the tone is more conditional. She also says she doesn't want to hear about it anymore, vaguely implying that she did before.
It was probably some short-lived experience from when she was new in Roanapur and didn't know anybody, didn't have any source of income and didn't want to fuck with the settled guys. She accepted to work for Rowan at first but quickly realized he asked more than she would be willing to give and she told him to fuck off, I imagine something like this.
You got me curious about the Light Novel thing, I need to read it now. It's Rei Hiroe approved so probably more or less canon.
