The unfounded belief and delusion they're getting better even with a terminal illness, the doctor's words, the denial and irrational anger are all too, too real, man. Hits like a ton of bricks. Ask me how I know.

The ss in this manga isn't so much of a manga SS. Usually manga ss's are drawn and written completely new for the manga or part of the novel ss. For this manga, the ss is actually part of the novel. It just didn't make it into the manga main story due to editing out unnecessary bits for the main story flow.
Seemed silly to defer releasing this ss for next month for only 9 pages, so I just bundled it with this chapter.

Everything with Alicia’s illness is so real, man. Especially the feeling that you both have time left to spend with them and yet not much time at all. 🍂

Also, do you think the house staff have figured out the situation with those three yet or are they kerfuddled about what’s going on between the sister and brother lol 👀

I still can't read him lol does he unknowingly like rachel or nooot???
He's very confused about his feelings for her sometimes it seems. Like he cares about her more than just a "friend" would, but at the same time his incestuous love is masking his feelings on that front. Either way they're probably formed in part by their shared bond with his terminally ill sister, so it's definitely not healthy and likely a form of trauma bonding.

Then again this whole series is VERY UNHEALTHY so not a surprise lol. Just enough angst to get my dead heart moving, but not enough because MC is in on it that it's too much

What was that about Alicia's unrequited love? I didn't quite understand that part of the story.

I suppose the author is trying to make every aspect of this story be a redirect to heighten the tragedy and wrongness of it all.

I think Noah meant that he’s glad Rachel’s love for Alicia is sincere; that she actually cares for his sister deeply, just like Alicia cares about her as well.

Wowowow that Noah's remark about Alicia's unrequited love, so is it really Alicia having a crush on Rachel?? And Noah really believes that Rachel feels the same way as Alicia hence his apology for breaking her up with her secret crush? A literal Yuri route if Alicia makes it to years to come? 😶
