She didn't return. She remembered that she actually lived out that life instead of being cut short like she assumed
Is that so. Well, I thought it was pretty symbolic, dying in one life to wake up in another world, and dying in the second world to go back to the first world to die there to THEN return to the second world to finish the life there since that’s what happens in another story.
It’s not a common thing in stories since normally the MC permanently dies in the first life with no way back, so I thought that’s how it went for this story.
But then again, the memory thing is always pretty trippy - from “I remember reading this as a story” to “no, I was/actually am this character and for some reason getting hit with memories from another life and now has knowledge of what will happen in the future because of that other life”.
We still don’t know how or why she ended up with memories - Judith didn’t seem to have regrets about her first life (which is a typical case) so if it was because of Luca’s wish that caused truck-sama’s divine intervention to hunt her down and send her spirit back with knowledge to help Luca, we will never know - unless you read the novel haha
As someone who just came back after taking a break for chapters to build up, it feels pretty refreshing to see her go back and finish her modern day life before coming back to the story setting. I’ve only seen that happen in another story, but that character was more in a hurry to return than she was lol
