I love how she says Reshutoka is hers and hers alone
Thank you so much for the chapter<3
The thing I haven't seen anyone mention yet is Reshutoka burying Karina's castle is also a metaphor. Karina is now willingly subjecting herself to Reshutoka to play along with their relationship even though she's clingy. A relationship she could describe as
suffocating. And now the last trace of her life if buried in the snow, unable to see daylight anymore.
That she appears to seal this pact with a kiss as it all happens makes it such a terrifying metaphor.
This is one of the greatest yuris I've read since Love Bullet and it's not even close.
Post script: Gosh i completely forgot I wanted to talk about the eyes or the lack there of in that scene with Ciel. After that disgusting look she gives Ciel her (and Aurora's) eyes are unseeable in almost every panel until she says she'll be living with Reshutoka. The lack of honesty and emotion she's allowing herself to show until she puts up that charming false front.
Though I want to believe that Karina is starting to value the relationship a bit more after this. It's something that she knows will not break. And her revenge plan was revealed in earnest. And despite Reshutoka wanting to check Karina to see if she really means it, she stood by her with a smile on her face. I don't think she knows what she's commited to, but she's a wifeguy. Come hell or high water she'll make her happy.
That said maybe we'll get some spicy scenes in the next couple chapters. Let Karina show how far she's willing to commit to the relationship. What reservations will she have? Ohhhh i can't wait!
