GOOD NEWS FOR SONG LAN GIRLIES (ME): Spanish novel TL did not mess up his final line! It reads more briefly and a bit more clinically than "tell him- I'm sorry, it was not your fault" (it is more like "I will apologize and tell him it was not his fault") but it has the exact same meaning and most importantly the apology is in there

IMPORTANT EDIT because I had just skimmed the line in my eagerness to know if they'd gotten it right, the perceived "clinical" brevity of "me disculparé" was in fact made up for by the beautiful "le haré saber que no fue culpa suya" which, more than "telling him it was not his fault" is "i will make him know it was not his fault". though it is just another manner of saying the same thing (not 'make' but commonly used like 'let'), to me it carries more weight than simply telling him. ahhh god

#song lan #you know how seven seas just completely removed the i'm sorry from his last line #now spanish readers at least will know the truth #i perhaps would have preferred 'le pediré perdón' BUT i understand sl speaks more coolly/briefly #first bc his character n second bc hes scrawling shit out on the floor #anyway i love my man #if you want to just tell someone you'd say le diré #le haré saber is like an extra step. it's like truly driving the point home. i Know this was deliberate i Know it was #seven seas you guys may not have cared about song lan but i do
