Glossed over in the timeskip between the end of Ch 84 and their parting at the end of Ch 85?
I don't mind the plot point, but pulling it out of thin air like this feels like narrative cheating.
The FAL arc has been going since ch67, which was uploaded here in the Mangadex launch days (2018), which means it came out at least a year or two before that? We've spent a decade on this?
Welp. At least it seems like it's reaching a conclusion. Maybe we'll see it wrap up by 2030. :aquadrink:
Mary: "We're just going to read books, there's no need for anything so dangerous!"

"Incomplete information can be dangerous"
But "Carry on like normal" isn't even worse? At least in the first case, she'd be aware that there's danger heading her way.
