awww next chapter is one of my favorite scenes from the novel. i’m tearing up already.

SPOILERSSS basically reynold catches penelope trying to find a hole to escape, and instead of arguing with her like he usually does, he just asks her if she could just stay with the family, even though she suffered so much in the duchy. he says he’s been thinking a lot about how badly he treated her in the past and he sincerely apologizes. he starts crying and tells her that if she does end up running away, she shouldn’t endure hardship and that she should tell him if she ever needs more money. he also tells her to make sure to get a guard and to go to a good hotel instead of an inn. the whole scene just shows how he sees her as his baby sister and it’s stinkin cute. also, this is chapter 186 in the novel if you wanna go read it :)

i agree with the comment saying that the story would be more meaningful if she actually died in the end. i love my girl and she deserves all the best in the world, but hear me out.
she sees her second life as a blessing, and i couldn’t agree more. even though she’s still going to die young, she believes she’s incredibly lucky to be able to live two decades more. since her biggest regret was not doing more during her first life, she wants to make her second life as fulfilling as possible. with the few years she has left, i want to see her do all these incredible things and live the big life she had always wanted. that way if she does die in the end, she’ll go with no regrets and with utmost contentment. it’s not about how long her life is, but about how big it is.
But isnt her ultimate goal to get rid of her time limit? Or to make the time limit longer? The titel can imply something like that and I kinda forgot if she made a goal like that.
But I do agree that her death would make it meaningful.
I would love to see her break free from the shackles, overcome/break her "curse".
AGREED!
Nah, she’s like content with living for 21 years rn. She feels like it’s a blessing she even gets 21 years to live with a healthy body, so she’s very calm and happy about it. It’s the other characters around her who feel sad and want to stop her death, which I really like honestly.
