How did you thank someone for praise you hadn’t earned?

I wanna know which one of you bitches told me to read the sword of kaigen so I can send my therapy bill to you, WHATTT THE FUUUUCKNJJ WAS THAT 😭 I am distraught and devastated, how DARE you, how DARE YOU!!!!!!
“I can’t tell you…” Misaki tilted, trying to will herself back from the edge. This is wrong. This is wrong, you stupid woman. Know your place—“but I can show you.”

“Why would it bother me?” Mamoru said. “This is good news. I’m the son of two great fighters, instead of one. This is good. It means that I must be strong. I should be proud.”

this is really like a 15 years later of a YA book, I kinda love it. and it's not even the main story. like imagine the crows didn't see each other for that long. I'm sure there would be some kids along the way and so on. this entire book is like the epilogue/sequel to a YA book, which makes it pretty unique.
and I love that e.g. the word gay is in this book's vocabulary since some YA books just beat around the bush. generally misaki being so shocked at everything is really funny to me. it's also nice to see that misaki is so sure about her decision to go the traditional arranged marriage route now. like it's very unusal, but I do like it. not everyone wants to risk everything.
it was really sweet (and a nice plot device) that the chapter ended with the sunset, just like the story started gaining momentum when misaki and mamoru were looking into dawn.
Because I’m angry, Setsuko. I’m angry all the time. It’s eating me alive.”
And if Misaki didn’t do something with this anger, it was going to kill her.
‘fathers day’ this and ‘mothers day’ that. wrong. misaki
Misaki and baby!Mamoru vs Misaki and older!Mamoru. because what if they had been happy
