it really does feel like all possible otome tropes smashed into a single chapter 😅
but the 20 years time skip does seem interesting, that's a new one for me, and also the fact that, at least at first glance, she hasn't aged at all. It would be interesting to see how she interacts with the people she knows that have all aged up.
but really, the woman was away for a year an a half and they could still make the mental gymnastics to somehow have her be a bully???
