Heh... For once I didn't see the flag while reading the chap, only when I saw the montage at the end did I realize...
How could I miss it? I mean, yeah right, that's the biggest death flag ever! The. Whole. Chapter. is a death flag. Aaaaaah. Frustrated.
Btw, the "afterword" is really hilarious. The merchant must make money A lot of money.
