I love the story, it has many undertones about life + death, emotions, fears, etc. that I enjoy a lot.
[ol]If u ask me, all of her spirits remind her of death, they just represent different aspects and moments related to it and her trauma. Now, it's interesting how attracted she is to the one that directly reminded her to it the most and also how exactly because of that, she feels she'd be able to overcome it if she has it, she's hella extreme if u think about it and I feel sad for her.
It's also super interesting how Ray always talks about spirits' fate and endings, Jeanie got rejected by this new spirit because her weakness is equal to its death and that's precisely why she wants the other spirits (to avoid hers). Pretty savage and deep as well, love it! (I also love that it'll force her to work her ass for it, haha). I feel like Jeanie hasn't paid enough attention that her lack of mana could kill all of her spirits and not just her, maybe if she were to think about it, her life could gain a meaningful layer and different purpose than just survive (which is why I really wish for her because she's not allowing herself to be full happy).[/ol]
Iruze is as a troublemaker as Jeanie, lmao.
Ps. I second the idea of this boy being the ML, he'd definitely support and love her properly and that's what she desperately needs. Some love to start opening her heart again and start to taking care of her in a healthier way (not just with food but emotionally).
Ps.2. Personally I don't think the MC is stupid, there's a reason as to why she's constantly in these types of situations and why she's looking for danger (consciously or subconsciously). I get why people are criticizing her for the things she gets herself into lol, but everything has a purpose. All this mess reflects her current psychological and emotional state, differently than Iruze who's just a mischievous kid, Jeanie is constantly playing closer and then running away from death. The more she lives the more she'll mature and will stop acting that way. Just give her time and let's enjoy her troublemaker being. XD
Tnks for the chapter. <3
