all that build up for the most impactful chapter of this manhwa and it fell a little flat. as always the art is stunning, ruby's vicious anger, cesare slowly losing it. all nicely done, but it didn't meet my expectations overall. ruby went OFF in the novel, my favorite of hers being something along the lines of "you know what the difference between you and Izek is? when I'm with you, I want to kill myself" like the author did not hold back, it was all raw and unforgiving and very, very bloody. bro cesare beat the absolute shit out of ruby before izek stormed in. I liked how horribly and truly REAL this scene was in the novel, and the fact that they TOSSED IN A FLASHBACK SCENE FOR CESARE, ALMOST AS IF THE ARTIST OR WHATEVER WAS TRYING TO JUSTIFY HIS ACTIONS/BEHAVIOUR? TRYNA MAKE US PITY HIM? ah hell nah fuck out of here
