Mark and Gemma as Orpheus and Eurydice: boring, obvious, unoriginal

Helly/Helena as Persephone/Kore, queen of the underworld but only as a prized prisoner: new, bold, fascinating

the first time luke was put into weapon training was when he was still two. he didn't do much then, mostly just listening and sometimes being handed wooden weapon to practice his grip. he used to spend them mostly glued to jace's side, but for the most part the training he was part of when he was that age required only his presence due to his age. it was as he approached his third birthday that he started being taught more. the first time he was given live steel, his own dagger, was a few days after his third name day, pressed to his hand by his mother, with the instruction that he had it in case of needing defending. afterwards, he rarely went anywhere without it on him, grabbing it without thinking each time he got up from bed and keeping it at his bedside when he went to sleep. he was more relaxed on dragonstone, and could be without it, but for the most part he took it with him everywhere, and if he was not in dragonstone, he would not be without it. he used to nick himself when he was still learning to wield it, mostly because originally the master at arms at dragonstone and king's landing used to change it to his right hand when he tried grabbing it with his left, and he had more difficulty wielding it. because of his age, it was originally assumed it was simply training mistakes, but they did eventually realize he favored his left hand - far quicker than the maester trying to teach him to write did, especially the one at dragonstone ( the one at king's landing took a bit longer, but that was due to how little time he spent with the man rather than anything else ). he never quite kicked the habit of bringing his dagger with him anywhere, and it was his preference, although he could go without it when he was on dragonstone. anywhere else, he always had it on him. it was part of why he travelled to storm's end with a dagger on him — he does derive comfort from having a dagger at his hip, and it is his preferred weapon over the rest.

idk why im asking for permissions but if i start posting unhinged shit abt my tavs and bg3 campaigns would u indulge me

[genoskissors]

In Japanese, everyone’s “Here’s our answer!” from V3 is different. I have some notes explaining their differences in speech. Very long post.

General Sentence Structure: “This is our answer!”

これ (kore) = This

が (ga) = Is

[First Person Pronoun] = I

達 or たち (tachi) = When placed after one’s pronoun, it turns “I” into “we”.

の (no) = This is a particle showing possession. It basically changes “we” into “our”.

答え (kotae) = Answer

After that, there will be particles showing inflection, which show tone and pitch. I’ll explain more for individual characters.

っ = This is called a sokuon, and doesn’t have a pronunciation by itself, it repeats a consonant following it. For example, か is ka, so っか is kka. な is na, so っな is nna. You’ll notice when it’s used here, nothing follows after. When nothing comes after, the particle was meant as a glottal stop, meaning a sound created by quickly closing and opening the vocal cords to forcefully release lung air. If you still don’t get it, it’s basically just how the sentence was said, rather than having a translation as a word.

Kaede: これが私達の答えだよっ！ Romanized: Kore ga Watashi-tachi no kotae dayo!

Kaede uses the first person pronoun “Watashi”, written in Kanji. It can be used formally and informally, but usually only women use it informally. She ends her sentence with “dayo”. Da is considered informal and impolite, but the addition of Yo adds a gentler connotation as well as confidence.

Miu: これがオレ様達の答えだぜっ！ Romanized: Kore ga Oresama-tachi no kotae daze!

Miu uses the first person pronoun “Ore” written in Katakana, making it seem more blunt. It’s a more masculine pronoun and can sound impolite in some cases. She also adds the honorific “sama”, which adds superiority. She ends her sentence with “daze”. Like before, da is impolite and Ze adds emphasis. Miu has a very blunt and rude way of speaking. Her speech comes across as masculine, since women are expected to speak more politely.

Angie: これがアンジー達の答えだよー！ Romanized: Kore ga Angie-tachi no kotae dayooo!

Angie uses her own name as a first person pronoun, essentially referring to herself in third person. This makes her seem cuter and less intimidating. Like Kaede, she ends she sentence in “dayo”, but instead of っ she uses ー, which extends the sound. It makes her seem more cheerful and friendly.

Tsumugi: これがわたし達の答えだよっ！ Romanized: Kore ga Watashi-tachi no kotae dayo!

Tsumugi uses the first person pronoun “Watashi”, but uses Hiragana instead of Kanji. In this case Hiragana gives a bit of a softer impression that Kanji does. The ending of her sentence is the same as Kaede.

Tenko: これが転子達の答えですっ！ Romanized: Kore ga Tenko-tachi no kotae desu!

Tenko uses her name as her first person pronoun, like Angie. Referring to yourself with your own name is also considered feminine and childish. She ends her sentence in “desu”, which gives a polite impression. It’s understandable as to why someone with Tenko’s beliefs would use more polite language, as it’s associated with femininity.

Maki: これが私達の答えだっ！ Romanized: Kore ga Watashi-tachi no kotae da!

Maki uses the first person pronoun “Watashi” in Kanji, like Kaede. Her sentence structure is the same, except she ends in “da” rather than “dayo”. Just using da gives an impolite impression, which someone like Maki would not really care about.

Himiko: これがウチらの答えじゃっ！ Romanized: Kore ga Uchira no kotae ja!

Himiko uses the first person pronoun “Uchi”. This is an informal feminine pronoun that’s usually used in more western areas of Japan. She also uses ら instead of 達, but they serve the same purpose. She ends her sentence with “Ja”. It is the same as “da”, but is a different dialect, similar to her first person pronoun.

Kirumi: これが私達の答えよっ！ Romanized: Kore ga Watashi-tachi no kotae yo!

Kirumi uses the first person pronoun “Watashi” in Kanji, as it is considered formal as well as informal. She ends her sentence with just “yo”. Similarly to how Kaede used “yo” to make “da” less impolite, Kirumi removes “da” completely. As a maid, she speaks very politely but still confidently.

Kiibo: これがボクたちの答えですっ！ Romanized: Kore ga Boku-tachi no kotae desu!

Kiibo uses the first person pronoun “Boku” in Katakana. It’s a polite masculine pronoun, but some women use it. Using Katakana rather than Kanji gives a younger impression, the person writing it is likely a teenager or below, since adults usually use Kanji. Note that Makoto and Nagito use this as well. You’ll notice some boys use たち instead of 達, but it’s the same, if not very slightly more informal. He ends his sentence in “desu”, as Kiibo is very polite and often speaks formally.

Korekiyo: これが僕達の答えだヨ��！ Romanized: Kore ga Boku-tachi no kotae dayo...!

Korekiyo uses the first person pronoun “Boku” in Kanji, giving a more mature impression than if in Katakana. He ends his sentence with “dayo” like Kaede, but uses the Katakana form of Yo rather than the typical Hiragana form. This is a quirk Korekiyo has, if his sentence ends in Hiragana, it will be written with Katakana instead. I don’t think there is a specific reason, it’s just to make his language a bit more unique. I assume it ends in an ellipsis because he’s creepy…

Kokichi: これがオレたちの答えだよっ！ Romanized: Kore ga Ore-tachi no kotae dayo!

Kokichi uses the first person pronoun “Ore” in Katakana. Like Miu, it’s masculine and blunt. However, in Kokichi’s case, it may come off as childish. He ends in sentence in “dayo”, same as Kaede.

Gonta: これがゴン太たちの答えだよっ！ Romanized: Kore ga Gonta-tachi no kotae dayo!

Gonta uses the first person pronoun of his own name. This is considered childish, and, past childhood, it’s feminine. Gonta is neither of these things, so I believe it to be a habit he never grew out of, or just to emphasize him growing up in the wilderness. His sentence ends in “dayo”, like Kaede.

Ryoma: これが俺達の答えだ…！ Romanized: Kore ga Ore-tachi no kotae da…!

Ryoma uses the first person pronoun “Ore”, in Kanji. Like “Boku”, using the Kanji of Ore seems more mature than the Katakana form. He ends his sentence in “da” and an ellipsis. Unlike Korekiyo, it’s not creepy, it just makes him sound less energetic.

Kaito: これがオレ達の答えだっ！ Romanized: Kore ga Ore-tachi no kotae da!

Kaito’s first person pronoun is “Ore” in Katakana, masculine and blunt. He ends his sentence with “da” only, which reaffirms his blunt and masculine manner of speech.

Shuichi: これが僕たちの答えだっ！ Romanized: Kore ga Boku-tachi no kotae da!

Shuichi’s first person pronoun is “Boku” in Kanji, masculine and mature. He ends his sentence is “da”, which may seem impolite, but since he’s a boy, it comes off more normal.

Rantaro died before any trials, so we never got to here him say these words. However, here’s what I think he would say:

Rantaro: これが俺達の答えっすよっ! Romanized: Kore ga Ore-tachi no kotaessuyo!

Rantaro uses the first person pronoun “Ore” in Kanji and when saying “we”, he uses the Kanji form of tachi. Rantaro uses “ssu” or “ssuyo” in place of words like “da” or “dayo”. It is not as polite as desu, but it’s not considered impolite, it’s somewhat of a middle ground. It is also mostly used among young men. I think he would have the sokuon, as his speech is relaxed, but he takes things like the killing game very seriously.

How it felt to finish this then remember nobody gaf:

[genericpuff]

hi! this is my first time reading lore rekindled, and I am amazed with the remake you have done for it

in a way that's lore accurate and still going with the flow of the storyline from Lore Olympus (that I stopped reading, tbh midway. the plot lost me. looking back, the characterization [and example is apollo on what he had done to kore, felt off and not him that that's how he's written in perse's life. glad you changed it up)

---

Anyway, I wanted to start it off with I'm glad to have seen that yt recommended video of LR. Secondly, now that I have catched up to the latest episode, I was wondering why Hades is in the wrong here rather than Dio?

I've read it and felt that Dio was being an ass to Hades along the way.

Again, as the notes have written themselves, lovely episode, artisty, and visuals! looking forward to the future episodes 🤗

Ahh thank you so much!

I have gotten a few comments and questions about Dionysus and his behavior in Episode 68. It's sort of a perfect storm of conflicts that Dionysus took into his own hands to solve.

Biggest reason he was there at all was to personally confront Hades not for that specific instance of talking about Kore, but for past incidents, and with his newfound knowledge of Kore interning in the Underworld-

Dionysus may often speak in riddles and broken speech, but underneath he's essentially asked Demeter for permission to take matters into his own hands, permission which Demeter gives in a very hands-off way - she doesn't ask him to specifically confront and beat up Hades in the middle of The Olive Branch, but she's willing to let nature take its course in whatever direction it must take, and that was the direction Dionysus chose.

And really, he was just planning to beat Hades up. It was when Hades talked back that Dionysus decided to play even dirtier. It wasn't just out of spite, Hades was also technically overstepping the ruling that Zeus had given. Though he had a point that Dionysus was already playing dirty by ambushing him without warning, in this context where Zeus had given a ruling to Dionysus (even though it was played up for comedy) Hades was basically being a sore loser LMAO

(was Dionysus allowed to do this? Probably not, but considering we spent the majority of the episode trapped within Hades' mind, we've yet to see the consequences of Dionysus' own choices here.)

Aside from that, we also have to bear in mind that unlike Kore, Dionysus is an Olympian who already has his own constructed opinion of Hades from past lived experiences. He's not a complete stranger swooping in to protect Kore with zero context, he's been a part of Kore's life since she was born and has basically taken on the role of her honorary uncle; meanwhile, if blood-related DNA were at play, Dionysus is essentially Hades' nephew, and he's had more than his own fair share of run-ins with Hades over the years even before Kore was in the picture.

Of course, that's a lot of stuff we've yet to fully get into, but I mention it anyways as a reminder that, while Hades is clueless to Dionysus' affiliations with Kore, Dionysus isn't clueless when it comes to Hades' own patterns of behavior from the past, and so it automatically became a priority for him when he sensed those patterns repeating themselves.

All that said, none of that's to say that you have to even see Hades in the wrong! It's definitely a complicated matter that's also not being helped by Zeus, who's instigating a lot of the drunk gossip talk around the table, but like Dionysus, Zeus also knows Hades well enough to recognize his own behavior and faults, and he's doing what he's always done, albeit poorly - prodding people for the truth.

And then, of course, the fact that both Zeus and Hades were treating the wait staff poorly was just the icing on top of the shit cake. While Chloe is a denizen of Olympus - Zeus' domain - she was also acting the role of cupbearer, serving alcoholic beverages, which enters the grey area of Dionysus' domain as the god of wine. I get to have a lot of fun with those sorts of grey areas when writing out these scenarios LOL

TL ; DR: I think two things can be true. I think Hades absolutely deserves an ass-whooping for all the things he's done (so far) but I also think Dionysus is overstepping his own jurisdiction with Kore, especially when both she and Demeter will undoubtedly catch wind of his actions. As for how those consequences play out, well, we'll get to it eventually ;3 In the meantime, it makes for fun drama and I hope you continue to enjoy it! <3

[vashtijoy]

This one is extremely strange, so strange that I think I must have got it wrong somehow? Here's a line from Akechi's Black Mask navigation. Yeah, you know which one this is going to be:

Here's the English audio:

Is it me, or is something a little... off, here? Look at the portrait. Doesn't he look a little... calm? Downbeat, even?

Here's another use of the same portrait. This is not a laughing statement:

Akechi has a laughing navigator portrait, of course:

it's okay goro we know you're very normal

So we've got a mismatch between the portrait and the English line. Let's have a listen to the Japanese audio:

They're a bit... different? He's not laughing, he's not gloating. Just "Huh, I guess that was a thing that happened..."

So what's going on here?

translation time

Akechi 敵1体逃走！仲間に見捨てられたようだね。 teki ittai tousou! nakama ni misuterareta you da ne This one just got betrayed by its teammate! Ha, imagine how that feels! [lit. One enemy fled! Looks like this one was abandoned by its friend, huh?] One more enemy out of the way! So this last one got dumped by its friend, huh?

Let's talk about 見捨てる misuteru—"to abandon". misuteru pops up regularly in the P5R script. It comes up when someone's being ditched, bailed on, forsaken by God—generally left behind: if your friends run out on you, you are being misuterued.

Are there any contexts where misuteru can mean betray? Sure. If you leave a friend held hostage to die, the shadow will accuse you of misuteruing them. nakama o misuteru is used consistently here, similarly to Akechi's line above—"you betrayed your friend by leaving them to die".

Here's Kawakami, at the end of her confidant, resolving to never abandon any of her students again:

Kawakami でも、これからは君のことも守るよ。教師として、絶対、見捨てたりしないから。 demo, kore kara wa kimi no koto mo mamoru yo. kyoushi toshite, zettai, misutetari shinai kara. But from now on, I'm going to protect you too. As your teacher, I will never betray you.

What does Kawakami do? She tries to help her student Takase, but in the end abandons him; she believes she betrayed him to his death. But she betrayed him by giving up on him; by abandoning him. She misuterued him.

Here's Futaba, during her apology to Joker for dumping him at the start of Maruki's reality:

Futaba てかむしろ怒るだろ!{F1 82}のこと見捨てたんだぞ!? te ka mushiro okoru daro! <given name> no koto misuteta n da zo!? Why wouldn't you be!? I betrayed you! Don't you get that!?

Under Maruki's influence, Futaba loses herself in her happy family life, and leaves Joker to handle things essentially alone. Futaba betrays Joker by abandoning him; she misuterus him.

how does akechi use misuteru?

Besides the usage above, Akechi has two other uses of misuteru in P5. One is in his deleted Mementos mission from the third semester:

Akechi 君たちのことだしこういう人間は見捨てておけないだろう? kimi-tachi no koto da shi kou iu ningen wa misutete okenai darou? Well, considering what you and your group do, I imagine you could hardly abandon him to his fate...

This doesn't mean "betray". There's no relationship between Joker and the mission target—there's no betrayal. There's just an abandoning—a refusal to help.

Akechi やっぱり馬鹿は⋯お前らだ。見捨てて行けば、よかったのに⋯ yappari baka wa... omaera da. misutete ikeba, yokatta no ni... The real fools... are you guys. You should have just abandoned me here a long time ago... [lit. the real fools... are you guys. if only you'd [just] abandoned me here...]

Now this line is a doozy. Look at that use of misuteru here; in vanilla, it was his only use of this word. Akechi has just got done explaining that being unwanted and cast aside is the thing he fears most of all. He has shaped his life around it. He's done murder for it. Everything he's become, he became, at base, because he was abandoned—because he was misuterued.

It's here, at the very end, that he turns his back on that. This unwanted child who has killed to be wanted—he looks at Joker and the Phantom Thieves on the other side of the engine room shutters, people who've proved that they value him and want him around, for himself. And he says to them—no; you're idiots; why didn't you abandon me, like everyone else has? He says to them, I won't let you die here, and I care about that more than I care about being abandoned.

Everything about Akechi is resolving at this moment. He transcends his obsession, fear and trauma. And that word misuteru is doing a ton of heavy lifting—because if Akechi can't have what he wants, then he'll reject it. He makes a free choice, for once in his life.

This moment influences him for the whole of the third semester. And when we hear him say misuteru later on, we should remember this. When black mask navigator Akechi notes the Shadow being abandoned to its fate, he isn't laughing about it; he's thinking about it. In his head, he isn't the betrayer, thinking of Joker in the interrogation room; he is the betrayed, being left behind by everyone he ever hoped would care about him. He's being left behind behind that engine room door.

This line as localised, taken in isolation, can transform your reading of Akechi's character and motives—which is why it's so important to look at the whole of canon, and not single cherrypicked lines. Step forward, "I hate you"

unhinged ranting

Lemme be clear here: this line has always pissed me off for its inconsistency. Akechi reacts against the engine room ending in the third semester, sure. Almost the first thing he does is to rub that deal they made in Joker's face. He's desperate not to be viewed as that pitiful object on the floor. He's desperate to keep up walls between himself and the others—for whatever reason.

But after 1/2, he doesn't really gloat about what he's done. He doesn't argue with Futaba's threat to him on 1/11—"if you ever betray us again, we'll make sure you regret it."; he just agrees to her terms, which he knows are well deserved. He's not walking around like "lol, I got you arrested and tried to murder y'all and there was that whole thing"; even unhinged combat Akechi doesn't do that. Except for this one line. When he suddenly reveals that, deep down, he thinks the whole thing was hilarious.

Except he didn't do that at all. If he did, I think he'd find the others tolerated him a lot less. And he's already walking a knife edge with many of them.

What was the translator's brief here? Honestly, I have no idea. Did they even have access to the original audio? Did they have time to play it? Did Atlus give them a brief to make this guy just as crazy insane as possible?—because we know they told Akechi's JP VA, Soichiro Hoshi, to underplay it.

Either way, I don't think the line as localised (and as delivered, excellently, by Robbie Daymond) corresponds to the Japanese audio. traduttore, traditore—translators are traitors. Even me

Ayo! How close to the original tale is the Klyntar Pantheon for Eddie and V? Like, Persephone going down, eating the pomagrenate, being stuck... essentially kidnapping? XD

Here is the chain of events for Persephone [Eddie] and Hades [Venom]

- Hades wants to make a Godly codex and bind with a God

- Zeus tells him to find one and take them without consent

- Kore with his nymphs, Krokos and Withy, are busy in the meadows where Kore finds a weird abnormal flower.

- The flower sprays a sleeping gas and Kore falls asleep making Hades break out of the ground dramatically with his Vorses. He picks up Kore and puts him in his chariot and rides back down to the underworld

- Krokos and Withy go and tell Demeter the full story but obviously they warp it in the most dramatic way making Demeter completely pissed and panicked. Due to this Demeter must go through Zeus to get access to the underworld since his connection to the underworld has been severed, due to family squabbles with Hades in the past. So this takes a lot of time to process and reforge.

*******

- Kore wakes up in the dark gardens of the Underworld and makes his way to the Hall of judgement/ throne room of the underworld

- Kore requests to go back home, pleading for his request to be granted and blessed, which hades sadly complies

- Hades gives Kore a week and then he may leave safely due to a lot of work he has. He lets Kore go wherever he wants and gives him full freedom to traverse the underworld

- Kore confronts Cerberus and befriends the guard chicken. Hades and kore grow closer, building an emotional connection over a span of months. Kore asks why abduct him. What was the reason?

- Hades reveals that he wants a successful host to bond with and form a strong Godly codex to empower his realm. He believes that Kore is the perfect candidate.

- Hades speaks of Minthe his former bond that failed the test of fates since she was leading Hades on. Kore decides to try bonding with hades. They head to make their test of fate.

- They meet the Fates who give them the test which goes successfully and it is revealed that Kore becomes king under the underworld domain.

- A godly codex can finally be formed from their union but Kore must eat a Symbiotic fruit [the pomegranate fruit]. Before he does, Demeter finally shows up.

- Demeter tries to convince Kore that life in the underworld and with Hades will be the worst but Kore disagrees and says that Hades sees his true potential and has been nothing but kind and caring ever since he got here.

- Demeter tries to reason with his son to abandon this foolish venture but this has the opposite effect and makes Kore eat six seeds from the fruit forming the bond [black spider tattoo] and creating the Godly codex.

- Demeter vows an eternal winter for every day that Kore doesn't come home. He leaves the underworld. Kore weeps of this punishment but Hades reassures him that things will get better and that he is truly happy that Kore chose him and the underworld.

- Hades finally gifts Kore his new title, Persephone, King of destruction. Persephone finally comes to his own and feels the intense blend of both their powers together and a sense of harmony of both worlds.

*******

- After a month of their union Zeus pays a visit to the underworld and tells Hades about the eternal winter and how it's affecting everyone.

-As a result, The shades and souls have increased, but Persephone and Hades don't notice as much since they are both working together to get the job done.

- Zeus makes the arrangement for the 6 months cycle with Demeter having Kore for spring and summer, whilst Hades gets Persephone for winter and autumn. Hades and Persephone begrudgingly comply, for the sake of the eternal winter to stop.

-Demeter picks Persephone, and takes him back to the mortal realm where he reverts back to his Kore state, a prince again.

-Obviously sad, Kore finds himself in depression the first month in, only for Hades to have the idea to sneak Kore out every night, disguised in different animal forms to have fun making sure His Persephone is happy even when they're apart.

- By day Kore was busy at his work for spring and summer while having his night times for Hades and himself enjoying joy rides. Winter and autumn was underworld time.

*******

That's the entire series of events summarized as best I could hope you like it 😁

A bit of a rant about TAMB and a character analysis about Elias Ainsworth.

The anime series "The Ancient Magus' Bride" has probably always been marred by controversy, with some viewers dismissing it due to concerns about problematic power dynamics and alleged "grooming." However, I firmly disagree with this assessment, and a closer examination of the narrative reveals a more nuanced and complex portrayal of relationships(forgive me for any grammar mistakes)

Upon closer inspection of this relationship, it becomes clear that Elias, the 2,000-year-old magician, is not engaging in manipulative or predatory behavior. Rather, his emotional immaturity and lack of understanding about human relationships stem from his non-human nature and Rahab's failure to educate him about the true meaning of marriage. This lack of understanding is evident in his interactions with Chise, where he often struggles to comprehend her emotions and boundaries. Elias's character can be seen as a blend of intelligence and his emotional naivety. His curiosity about the world is reminiscent of a child's, and his interactions with Chise reveal a desire to learn and grow. This childish wonder is a defining characteristic of Elias's personality, and it is this quality that makes his relationship with Chise so compelling so very compelling honestly dude.

Eilas doesn't even know the true meaning of marriage( honestly I kinda giggle at that)because his emotional immaturity and lack of understanding about human relationships often stem from his non-human nature and Rahab's failure to educate him about the true meaning of marriage. but he's immature he's very emotionally immature, he doesn't understand his emotions.Eilas is very intelligent but he lacks emotional stability, he isn't human so it makes sense for him to not understand. He's still growing and learning like a child he has that child curiosity with the world which is shown more when he talks to chise as their relationship progresses in the series.He is like a child , he lacks morals , children tend to lack morals more than others but as they progress as people they learn . When he tries to sacrifice Stella it's kinda obvious that he lacks a moral compass and emotional stability also cause bro did not hesitate bro hated Stella so much.

(stay with me now)

The dynamic between Elias and Chise is often misconstrued as romantic or sexual in nature. However, a more nuanced reading of their relationship reveals a deep emotional connection that is rooted in mutual respect and trust. While it is possible that their relationship may evolve in the future, I feel it's essential to recognize that any potential romantic development would require Chise's explicit consent and agency.

The narrative also delves into the theme of identity and self-discovery. Chise, who has struggled to find her place in the world, finds a sense of belonging and purpose with Elias. However, this sense of belonging is not rooted in a desire to possess or control Chise, but rather in a desire to support and care for her. In addition, the narrative explores the theme of trauma and recovery. Chise, who has experienced significant trauma in her past, struggles to come to terms with her emotions and desires. However, through her relationship with Elias, she begins to heal and find a sense of closure.

Ultimately, TAMB offers a nuanced and thought-provoking exploration of complex relationships and power dynamics. Rather than dismissing the narrative due to concerns about problematic power dynamics, it is essential to engage with the story in a thoughtful and critical manner. By doing so, we can gain a deeper understanding of the narrative's themes and messages, and appreciate the complexity and nuance of the relationships portrayed in the story. Kore Yamazaki is an absolute genius and I love this series so much bro.
