5th reread and i just realized the dragon in the last chapters is the "actual" dragon!!! thats why he says "im sorry i overpowered him(seram)" and agrish says the dragon does the same thing as his brethen (fell inlove with a human)
see this is why i understand shin back then, shin thought they were the same.. alone and only have each other ☹ even though that trust is broken jakes STILL the only person he can really depend on... WHAT IF I CRIED i just want him to be happy
oh no he has a new favorite dessert
