so im crying actually

awh man idek what to say...this chapter was just so warm and happy. and so many little details--nora relieving shuri of part of the burden of responsibility she holds...him more concerned about protecting the three youngest from the fight...asserting himself as someone who shuri can rely on, who can protect her...the smile in his eyes when she places her faith in him, like this is something he's been dreaming about...nora and his parents making up and becoming closer for the first time in years...albrecht acknowledging how he and his wife have hurt nora, and the realization that shuri is what kept nora alive..."he was born to love"....honestly ig this whole thing is js cementing how much nora is the goat. such a genuinely honest, committed, kind, loving, and grounded person is so hard to find; both in fiction and irl
