Man. This part of the story, the chapters about Illya confronting her mother, are my favourite part of the web novel. And the manga artist is doing it justice with the facial expressions.
Thank you very much for the chapter!
Spoiler in case I'm a chapter or two off or I'm recalling something that is vague and extremely open to interpretation wrong, but
it's somewhat implied Illya's mom says that because she's a dumb fucking liar, so there's an extra layer of suffering added in because Illya knows her mom was BSing in order to make the death hurt less.
This was so sad 😭 I'm glad she said what she had on her mind. Nice to see crow is back! Can't wait to see what going to happen next,hope to see more developments.
