a good "thank you for being born" scene is an easy cheat code to get me misty eyed, another killer scene with Ruri and her mom. I know it's the story's MO but between that moment and seeing Ruri choose something as mundane as a zoom study sesh with her friends before going to meet a DRAGON, this chapter had me emotional lol
it's just wonderful that she has people to rely on like that, even in places she doesn't realize sometimes like with the doctor, just gotta wonder if any dragon she'll meet can be someone else she can rely on too now...
