Honestly not a twist anymore considering the artist's style thus far

At first I didn't understand who was dead because I assumed some of the lines were said by her, but re-reading I understood he said the whole thing

i believe this is implied to be a sequel to A Thoughtless Reply. note how both girls have bluntly cut strands of hair on the sides of their faces. both guys also keep going on about how "their" love will persevere in the face of social class prejudice or something. the guy's hairstyle change from slightly wavy to straight and gelled could be justified by an explanation that he styled it for "their" formal wedding.
also assuming that Ghost Marriage girl is the same one from Thoughtless, she should be muttering "Master...?" instead of "Dear...?". in the raws, the girl from Thoughtless called the guy 坊ちゃま (bocchama, "young master") at first as a affectionate formality when they were younger, but when they got older and the guy stated invasively pursuing her, she started using the more serious 旦那様 (dannasama, "master") in an attempt to create distance. the Ghost Marriage girl also uses 旦那様 in the raws, presumably in continuation of this habit.
i feel its interesting that, presuming they're connected, the author tried to continue the supernatural stuff between Thoughtless and Ghost Marriage. i still don't really like how it's not really explained, especially the talismans covering the guy's eyes at the end of Thoughtless. personally i have the explanation that the guy knows all these dark spiritual techniques because he found records of his old wealthy family having used them in the past in a musty storage room while trying to find out any methods possible to have the girl forever.
also damn. she killed herself to get away from him, but his yandere selective perception assumed she was trying to escape being persecuted for "their" love. the guy also talks big about going against society for love, but from a certain point of view, he's only getting away with doing all this crazy stuff towards a woman because he's a man set to inherit the wealth of his noble family.

she has a mole in this one, while thoughtless reply girl doesnt. i think the author just draws a lot of similar female characters. will give a few more examples of how samey their female OCs are. thoughtless reply also looks like this one with just different side bangs.

also flower guy saying it's cheating because of her pollen allergies is funny
i hope the other ones get worked on too so i can see other people discuss them. although im kind of annoyed that extras like for octopus guy only get posted on twitter because i don't have a account and i read most of these on pixiv first.

another reason as to why I was wrong about Ghost Marriage and A Thoughtless Reply being related:
"Thoughtless" Happy AU [alternate universe]
For her to be seen by him was a sign of her love and her will to completely accept everything.
That aside, the stimulation of his beloved bride's body, which he was seeing directly, was strong.
Evil Eye-san's a virgin, of course!
congratulations to the happy couple, i guess. especially to master evil eye, who, judging by his side profile, has many eyes. now that i know what the talismans were actually for, there isn't anything to gripe about for me anymore...
actually no. since the talisman issue was resolved, ive realized the real problem for me was that in general, the horror build-up was kinda wasted for Thoughtless. it's given the guy is insecure about his appearance, all the while his face is never depicted. knowing the author's works, youd expect it to be revealed as something uncanny. then BAM! disappointing and only faintly creepy talismans. i think a compromise would have been to have some of them peeling off to reveal an excessive amount of eyes staring in the girl's direction deliriously.
