fuuuuuck

very interesting. i understand the desire for intensity of feeling|experience, but the trust being placed in euryale is not a choice i'd make so i am struggling a bit with the motivations. this was a good chapter to wrap up the arc of the last few, and i am looking forward to seeing what comes next with the village in the forest, and then the northern province and return to the duchy.

question: how does the oath that josie swore to the heavens interact with dahlia's soul being alive after her bodily death? would she be required to continue to serve or protect dahlia? while the circumstances are slightly different, i cannot imagine that souls finding new bodies is unheard of.

i like her sass, that plus the unfiltered and predatory personality is a dangerous sort of fun.

intriguing! initially i thought dahlia was hearing the voice due to her connection with nature (mana), but now it seems like that wasn't the only reason. the newcomer's word choice is very interesting, and i have a feeling that valentina is being wound up here on purpose although i still am unsure of what the motivations could be.

laughing at this chapter just as much as sabrina was.

i came back to reread this set of chapters (again) and still find them so poignant - it continues to be really difficult to put words to how they feel.

hahaha, poor xu, i hope quynh isn't letting her live that down.

i'm very much looking forward to see how this unfolds. although the pacing of the plot and the complexity from the intertwined events may become a problem as the story progresses if a balance of 'reader awareness' is not struck. i'm also looking forward to seeing how you will manage that. also, is there a means for providing financial support to you and this work? i'd like to do so and would be interested in offline copies (pdf/epub) of the story.

cannot say i was expecting this turn of events!
