saw the raws and obviously Miria already knew from the beginning that Rider had a wanted notice and thought nothing of it lmao
and for some reason (to register as a part of her faction or something?) Mori is brought along by Miria to what seemed like the Judge that created her (to introduce him?)
and along the way there are sentries/guards posted that have the exact same headgear with the ones that retrieved (and unintentionally traumatized) the wild Mori while taking him to the orphanage.
please ahhh he's being so brave but on a cliffhanger panel he looked so scared when one of them started turning to look at him ahhhhhhhhh please please let everything be alright

his big baby googly eyes when getting scolded, his dumpling cheek getting smushed and tiny hands and content smile when rider hugs him AAAAAAAAHHHHH ❣❣❣❣❣❣❣
i can feel the deep and intense lovecraftian lore creeping in the edges of the story and it's making me heckin nervous but i am putting blinders on and enjoying happy (and sometimes naughty) mori

and her request to take care of him after her death doesn't have you immediately flipping off the violent and annoying tsundere act and gets you to at least treat Dan like a human being... man, if next chapter you still pull the 'ooh i have anger issues so i'm gonna be caring while still verbally abusing you" schtick... you boutta catch these mfing hands...

You guyz have to see thins im deaddd aaaaaaaaa

it's kind of apparent that they messed up the power leveling in earlier chapters for the side characters. gotta justify labeling them an elite force for a massively OP Roman afterall.
now unfortunately, a story with little to no conflict is boring and it's a tight balance to keep when your series' main selling point is having an infallible, unbeatable protagonist.
their solution: nerf the side characters so we can queeze in some antagonists in the power levels somewhere between the subordinates and Roman. so the conflict can, once again, come from an OP MC persevering despite the inadequate man power and resources.

last i read his grandpa and brother got killed and thought at least that will prompt the MC to grow a pair and end it but... he doesn't seem like the MC now? just a side character along for the ride with the corniest depiction of a child sociopath?
glancing at chapters and..
ch88: i need... to grow stronger! (dramatic panel transition and shading, eye of the tiger sfx)
ch201: same weakass bullshit
blargh it's that creepy tryrant old dude suddenly turns into a doting grandfather trope
i hate that he's probably gonna cause some shit with Liena and try messing with FL again
