@mbs0059 @Blackdevil911 @Emma46a a number of things have happened in my life (losing my job, developing RSI in both hands, laptop HDD corruption) which have prevented me from continuing thus far, I have now gotten partway back on track (got an old laptop to work again if somewhat intermittently, and RSI is improving) so will be working on the next 2 chapters that have released raws as I am able, but it might be slow going for a while, sorry about that.
@vhad23 I believe that this is an example of her denial, it is common for many of the characters who "remember past lives" to add their 2 ages up, but in reality they are still the age they are in their second life (our brains grow up as we do, it is part of why teenagers are so contrary), this particular work seems to understand that, really she is Laura +a bunch of information about another world as well as a work of fiction which is almost identical to the one in which she lives, so she is a child trying to protect herself from the pain of losing her best (and pretty much only) friend, the one person she had chosen to care for as Laura before "remembering her past life"
