Absolutely outstanding vibes, the library introduction felt otherworldly and there's a million blanks to fill in on the whole situation. Excellent character work too. Kirihito seemed like a steady kid through the first half so seeing him shaken and off balance during his conversation with the witch lent her presence a lot of weight. Matsurika's the star, love how expressive and imperious she is, all the idiosyncrasies in her body language. Though from the way she was suppressing and hiding her smiles, I wonder how much of it was an affectation, hamming up being the Master of the Tower for the newbie. Lots to chew on despite so little actually happening. Thanks a bunch for the quality TL, looking forward to this one.
