Wow, this chapter invoked so many feelings in me... With all the Little Mermaid references until now, I suppose the shoe scene is supposed to represent her getting legs? The way he describe his love for his fellow people was also very beautiful and poetic.
While it's sad to see their friendship fall apart like that, I, too, find it difficult to forgive him even though I can understand why he did it.
Thank you for the amazing translations as always 💕
