I can't imagine the depression Issei went through for the last timeline. Like wtf how many years did he try to forget Ban, haunted by Ban's death, wondering what Ban is doing at the moment, etc? Like. How didn't his soul break.
When he cried by the river for the last time, I felt it to my bones like. The fck author-san, why you do this. It's so fcking beautiful.

I just want to hug Hyesung right now. I'm sad for this chapter but really amazed how fargonim carried out this issue in a BL. Most moms are being mom-shamed for "not being a good mom" etc. I'm not a mom yet but I have friends who experienced these struggles and they are still shamed and feel insecure no matter how hard they try. (The only difference here is, Hyesung's a guy) It's like they have no right to lose their sht at all, whether they wanted to be a mother or not. What people always notice is the things they do wrong. People seldom ask "how's your mental wellbeing doing?". It's always " get your sht together, you're a mom now." All these toxic positivities. I had a roommate who majored in family development that I can casually talk about these things. She does counseling sessions sometimes, and boi you'd be surprised how stressed moms are. Lashing out on your kid is wrong but these things happen sometimes when inner wars are becoming too much. And the last thing a mom needs is to tell her that they aren't thinking about their children's wellbeing.
Oh, sorry. This turned out to be a really long comment. I just love how fargonim uses the platform to raise awareness (intentionally or not). I'm also glad there are a lot of people who empathize with Hyesung's struggles. Things like these are rampant irl. Some even commit suicide. So let's be understanding human beings, shall we?

...can you folks stop pressuring the young generation to marry? For some, it's an important part of their lives. For others, it's not even a priority. Like band-aid being used to mend a void. Fyi, it's our choice.
This is one of the reasons why our non-binary friends are having a hard time coming out of their closets.

Thanks, guys for understanding my sentiments. I was raised in a more liberated way but there are still relatives and family friends who get nosy about this to the point where my mom calls them out when they are being to much. I'm lucky tho because she's understanding. I still feel for those who have parents/grandparents are like gramps in this story.
And the memes at the end of every chapter were hilarious. I stole some.
