"one is not required to forgive just because someone apologized, they forgive when they're heart is ready to forgive" >>>>> This is actually SO IMPORTANT.
Kids need to be thought when to apologize but at the same time know that sorry doesn't just magically fix everything. That their actions can have an effect on other people and that forgiveness is not guaranteed just because you're sorry. It should be something you do for the other person's sake in a sincere way not something you do to feel better about yourself.
waaaaiiit if richard did what I think they're insinuating he did, it actually makes sense why courtney had mentioned at one point when she met one on one with the emperor for the first time, that she felt this odd feeling that he "favored" her somehow
he must have thought she was pregnant then too
also side note but richard being all like: "I don't want to seem like I'm only interested in one thing"
BRO, U TRYNA PRETEND LIKE YOU'RE NOT, NOW???
Cause you've doing a horrible ass job pretending otherwise
Contrary to a lot of people I read this story before "majou to inu" and I just couldn't understand all the positive comments about that couple. Clearly now after reading this everyone else has rightfully changed sides because keigo is a selfish piece of shit. Like I'm sorry bro, but u can't expect sympathy after doing the same horrible shit that was done to you to another completely innocent person without any hint of remorse. These motherfuckers were gonna not only drug juuichi but also have him raped by God knows how many people which besides already being absolutely awful as it is, would also reduce his life span. And as if that wasn't enough, even after they let them go sudou mentions they most likely also already sold all the imformation about them to other suspicious people so they'll have to be on the run forever. Oh but Keigo doesn't have to worry about shit though. He's a high ranking yakuza. He'll be fine and protected but that's not the case for juiichi and sudou. They're gonna have to spend the rest of their lives on the run never knowing peace.
Characters like kashan are such an interesting grey area That I always enjoy seeing develop as the story goes on. Not inherently a malicious or dubious character but rather just a product of a different culture and way of life. Like in his head this all just very logical,straightfoward and efficient so he sees no fault in it. Since it's the way his species has always been and he sees no wrong in it. And tbh in their world it probably isn't. He did mention it before, it's the way his kind has survived and maintained stable numbers. Humans have their own moral compas and so do them, granted it's very animal like.
I don't usually like age gap stories of this nature but there's something about this story specifically that makes me feel all fuzzy inside no matter how many times I read it.
There's so much tenderness and warmth just emanating from their relationship. Yamada treats chihiro with nothing but kindness and respect and it's just absolutely precious.
I love loretta, I really do and I will never hate her in a million years. But she's starting to turn into the type of child that I don't want to say I "hate" but the type I can't quite deal with super well. The type that's suppossed be like a "charming scoundrel" but not in the isaiah type of way but more "hmpp, everyone gets to go but me! it's not fair I'm gonna go either way because it sounds fun >:) !" Basically The type that gets into dangerous situations out of pure curiosity and self amusement but have no actual way of fending for themselves if something were to turn awry. Had evan not stepped in she would have ended God knows how.
