Pree suffered quite a bit of abuse from Ru. She recognized he was hurt and was okay with bearing the brunt of his anger and hurt so it could make him feel better.
Who does that!?
That’s love right!?? That’s not duty, friendship or respect. That’s love and evidence of her caring for him and his feelings. I’m starting to think she doesn’t realize it but probably does and we may get a situation where she blurts of course I care for you or something along those lines. She doesn’t get it and her realization track will be labeling what she already feels and what already has been guiding her actions.
She loves him and he’s in love with her. Each has to develop the other aspect of loving if that makes sense ...
