2. when Valentina gets her memory back she’ll remember something important that could destroy the oppressors
3. the reason that Roman is trying to get her memory back is secretly because they used to know each other and he wanted her to remember him but he makes her think he’s using her for something (like getting the military weapon/threaten her mum)

8. possibility: for the memory wiping- her mum could’ve given her medicine everyday saying it was for another purpose when all it did was remove memories -temporarily- so she had to take it continuously, one day valentina stops taking it and the memories came rushing back one by one
9. the title is temporary
10. Valentina’s looks are based off of Ali
11. Roman’s mum was killed by his dad. romans mum, and cousin work with Valentina’s mum, who works with the oppressors. Roman and Valentina’s side are the oppressed.
12. Roman and Valentina met each other when they were 8, Valentina’s mum started erasing her memory around that time. Every time Roman and Valentina met her mum would erase her memories of him. Later when they were teenagers her mum failed to erase her memories of him, Roman and Valentina fall in-love. Her mum eventually finds out about this, she disapproves, just like every time. After her mums erased Valentina’s memory of falling in-love with Roman, -though she remembers him- she’s doing everything to prevent them from meeting again, her and Valentina go into hiding. Valentina’s mum does everything to keep Valentina away from Roman and his dad (and also Valentina’s dad) -both her mum and Roman want to know the code to the military weapon- though for very different reasons.
