I feel like the best part of this chapter was when the childhood friend punched the nephew for not recognizing the situation between the two of them.
@Qelix I also found myself realizing that we have 14 more years of hardship for the poor elf, and being surprised to only find one comment about it out of the 100+ that have been made. I wonder how she was able to hold up under all of that. (And while I was writing this,
@Ibri also commented on it being the biggest reveal in the chapter, so I guess two other comments, now.)
However, there is a ray of hope for our viewers. In the extra story of chapter 7.5, we do see the uncle thinking about the elf, and stating that he kind of missed the other world a bit. It makes me have slight hope that, if they can get him to realize the elf's actual feelings for him, maybe he can bring her over to their world.
