This development was long overdue but the sudden change of pace after all that high stakes development just made this chapter feel like a nothing burger.
Like "that's it? ok then" and hoping this was the first half of a chapter with more development to the relevant storyline.
Idk, I think the timing isn't quite right. It works a bit, Sal made it work with them just leaving tf out of the castle and going to Japan because Hana was overwhelmed and well the wolf lady can do that ig without explaining anything to the big bad bitches who just had this human witness something very important, but I would much rather see stuff develop on the witch side and after it all ended Hana just came back to her regular life with much more confidence and realized that her relationship with this dude was not good for either of them and this whole "Got it, bye." could have unfolded similarly.
Just didn't like the placing in the narrative, timeline-wise, I think... Even the parallel with Sadako being valid, I'd rather see all that later. With the other characters, they wouldn't have to interact this much to the point of having any development and the dynamic could stay the same with the bickering (even if the way she treats the poor girl pisses me off), while the author explored the others.
Anyways, thanks for the translation.
