God dammit I literally just got done translating chapters 229-232 because I didn't know when anyone else was going to pick it up so I wanted to try my hand at doing it.
(It's just as well I wouldn't have been good at anything but translating)
There's some parallels between Sara/Mia and Barbara/Barbie, namely Barbie saying that she was afraid to change because that would mean acknowledging that she's been making a mistake for years, but with Mia, it's her entire life. Every time she was beaten it was for the sake of entering the Shadows House, when she stayed up late to study by candle and accidentally ended up killing her family, that was also for the sake of entering the Shadows House, so to acknowledge that the idea of the Shadows House is a lie would be like saying that all that was for nothing.
