Something something the first time we see Qifrey talk about his fear of water in the anime (which includes is basically a scene from the flashback arc) and how he learned to control it thanks to Olruggio’s advice appears in this specific episode something

The Life and Times Chapter 36: Soldiers

"Shall we start walking over, then?" "Yeah, all right." They scooted out of the booth. Lily waved politely to the bartender, and, as they made their way to the door, she took James's hand, and said: "Y'know something?" "Hmm?" "I sort of love you." "Really? Good." Lily rolled her eyes, as he dropped her hand, only to lay his arm around her shoulders. "I also hate you, though." James grinned. "That's a pretty common reaction there, Love." Then he opened the door, and they stepped out onto the pavement.

This is a shockingly vulnerable statement from Taiyo. They came here to catch the people who killed Mutsumi's mother and are coming for Mutsumi, so I'm sure Tanpopo and their murderous intentions for Mutsumi are fresh in his mind. Thoughts are swimming in his head about death and the uncertain future. Now, sitting in a hospital room with Mutsumi, thinking about old age and the end of life, he tells her "I hope I die before you so I don't have to live without you."

It's a powerful moment because, when you think about it, it's a rather selfish sentiment! Taiyo is literally saying that he'd rather die than live without Mutsumi, and he'd rather die first so he doesn't have to see her off. But he means what he says. He's already sent off his loved ones once and he doesn't want to live through that pain again—not now, and not fifty years down the line.

Also love the following panelset bc you can tell by Taiyo's face that he just realized how morbid that sounded lmao. Thank goodness Mutsumi is charmed by it instead of creeped out!

The latest chapter made me giggle. The description of Veric gesturing to Acacius from behind Sasha... she's really going through it, huh. To be fair, everyone was going through it... can't wait for next chapter! :D

poor veric, she wouldn't be in this situation if not for the fact that people she cared about keep landing themselves in hot water. let's hope her fortune turns for the better after meeting our wonderful protagonist.

i'm glad you had fun with this chapter! thank you, as always, for reading <3
