I love her, Your Honor.
Is Goa-san realising as a dead person he takes away her decision to live or is it because he knows that if she walks this path she will leave him too and that is why he manipulates her?
WTF is going on?
I mean, he's very obviously been evincing guilt over siphoning her lifeforce over the course of the last couple of chapters, so yeah, that. Loving a person unselfishly means wanting the best for them, after all. I don't know that getting back together with the hubs is the way to go for that, but I figure he thought "at least it's a living person who won't steal her precious lifeforce". (Personally I think she deserves to have some happy single life for a change and fuck around a bit if she wants, but I definitely know people irl who are like "I GOTTA have a partner or I don't know what I'll do".... seems tough)
