bitlot thick this chapter. Probably could have used another chapter to breathe, but I'm guessing there's pressure to get the story moving again. Still, better to get it all out in the open at once than drip feed us angsty drama over time, I suppose
Ultimately it still feels trope-y rather than original, and that makes me sad
