Thanks for the translation!
Incredible chapter as always. I'm not gonna write about my thoughts on it like usual, though, but I did notice something worth mentioning:
On page 25, Thistle has 2 right hands. My first thought, like other people, was that it was a mistake, that Ryoko must've overlooked it and such. BUT, then I remembered Thistle's book (or rather, bookS, now that we know there's 2 of them, but I'll refer to them as singular because they're identical). The book has, on each of its' cover and backcover, a pair of wings of the same side, totalizing
two right wings and two left wings.
Image of the book for reference:
I'm probably reading too much into this, but if I had to guess why Thistle had those two right hands, that'd be it. Could be that if he holds both of the books, he gets four arms or something... yeah, it sounds very farfetched now that I'm saying it out loud.
