Corbin? Definitely

Herself? Absolutely

Liesel is hiding huge secrets She’s hiding her very soul I wish I knew if this wicked woames, is the real Liesel or the one I had back in my bed a few hours before

She’s playing games with all of us I don’t see fear when I look into her eyes I see a badass wo this entire house to the ground, destroying us all
