“Forbidden” explores the history of passing for white through the eyes of MMC Rhine Fontaine. We see the complexities of the relationship he has with FMC Eddy as he’s going through this story as a white dude. So throughout the story - she is taken aback as to why this guy is so attracted to her knowing how dangerous their union can be. It’s so good!
