So several people have said that the next chapter will be the very last one. After going back and reading some of the chapters again from when they were in the Moritat, I'm pretty sure it's gonna be a tragic one.
One thing that I think will be addressed is the recurring scene from the beginning where Jesse gets pushed off the cliff. Not only that, but Law kept having nightmares in the Moritat about Jesse getting badly injured because of him and I think this was referencing the cliff scene as well. I think this was a real event of sorts because Law's memories should not have been altered. However, nothing has been mentioned about it in the present day chapters, so I wonder if Law did something bad to Jesse in those five years he was gone and his true intention with the Moritat was to erase the memories of the pain Law caused him?
Second, I am almost positive that Law is going to die and there might be a chance that Jesse will as well. I think that Law spent 'years' in the Moritat living out what he wished he could have had with Jesse knowing full well that it was going to be the end for him. He mentions how if Jesse ever said he loved him he would die happily, asks if Jesse would mourn him for a day if he died, and "acts like an inmate on death row" in the final days of the Moritat. They "both know that the end is near" and when Jesse asks if they can descend the mountain together, Law replies that he wants to stop and is too tired to continue. I think he is aware of how crazy he has become and wants to be sane so badly but knows he can't be. Death is the humane end for him and his one request is to die with Jesse in his sight. However, at the very end Jesse feels the strong urge to end it there with him on the balcony which I think makes Jesse's potential death a toss-up. Now we find out that the series ends not even a day after the events in the Moritat where Law is living like his days are numbered.
I'll have my tissue box ready for the next chapter.
No one dies.
You are misunderstanding the story. You are reading too deeply into it.
dont spoil.
I think the wording of this chapter is very interesting. I might be overthinking things, but if it's intentionally worded like that, this chapter could be foreshadowing pretty heavily.
First, I have to wonder why his being a hemophiliac and having the public find out would be such a disaster. It doesn't make that much sense to me. Unless... The wording is: "But this is a pretty sensitive issue. It's genetic. If the public finds out I have this condition it would be a disaster." The issue being a genetic one seems to hold a lot of gravity. I wonder if it would be a disaster because he is an "illegitimate" child of a humongously rich and famous family? If the public finds out he has hemophilia when the disease doesn't run on his father's (or mothers) side of the family, they might find out he is illegitimate? In that way, perhaps he unknowingly shares some of the same worries as Law.
Second, the line about Law finally getting his reward could be interpreted in one of a few different ways. It could just be Law getting excited about earning Jesse's absolute trust as his "reward". On the flip side, it could be something as sinister as him planning to tell his mother about it to gain favor since she "stopped playing the good mother" this chapter. I seem to recall Law holding a blood soaked dress while recalling his parents in one of the chapters while they were still in the Moritat, as well as some circulating theories on here that Law killed his own parents. I wonder if his mother found out and to protect Jesse, he had her murdered?
I think we have more pieces to the puzzle than many people realize at this point, it's just a matter of using the right clues in the right context. I'll definitely be reading the whole thing again very soon to see what more I can find!
Oh, follow up thought! Law earlier proclaimed that he made Moritat to help Jesse forget about his hemophilia. Perhaps, because Law knows how painful it is to be reminded that you are an illegitimate child, he created Moritat to help Jesse forget about his lineage (hemophilia) and therefore forget he is illegitimate.
Going one fanciful step further, if Law continues this trajectory of becoming slowly more and more insane, he might have even gone so far as to set up the murder of Jesse's parents to completely erase any evidence of it.
But I don't think Jesse being the "illegitimate son" is true... because here

Law says Jesse has hemophilia due to the repeated intermarriage within the Brown family.
Law never proclaimed to have made Moritat for jesse´s sake. And Jesse wanting to forget about his condition makes no sense. A hemophilic patient needs to be aware of his condition so he can avoid getting injured. Jesse being an illegitimate child never crossed my mind. I always thought Jesse wanted to hide it from public so it won´t be used as his weakness. In ch 33, Law tells Jesse that his hemophilia is a legacy precipitated by repeated intermarriage within the Brown family. It doesn´t seem like Law was lying since they were already back to ´reality´. You´re theories about Law´s mother were interesting tho. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
True, that's a very good point. It could mean one of two things potentially.
1. We trust that law is telling the truth. Hemophilia is truly part of the Brown family legacy and Jesse wants to hide it to cover up the fact that he is from an incestuous family. Or he just has some other insecurity about it.
2. We assume that Law is lying. If Law spent so long in the Moritat trying to make Jesse forget that he is illegitimate, he wouldn't reveal it immediately like that and ruin all of his work. Claiming that inbreeding runs in the Brown family could be a convenient coverup so that Jesse doesn't remember what he tried so hard to forget. The true memories that we are experiencing now are from Law's point of view who we assume doesn't have anything messing with his memories.
Though thinking about it now, situation 1 seems the most probable now that you've pointed it out. But anything is possible with Moritat. Can't wait to find out!
Cool thought. My personal take is that probably the hemophilia does run in the Brown family (IRL, Hemophilia is common in European royal families for similar reasons), but that Law was lying first about creating Moritat (I think he fiddled with and existing program and named it) and that law's motives are sneaky and complex, and not what he tell's jesse they are.
I think Jesse feels that any imperfection is a disaster and that people should never know the esteemed Brown family has a genetic weakness. It's about status and perceptions of power and perfection. These things really matter to Jesse. That's why what probably happens later destroys him so completely.
Yes, I think it goes back to his parents and everyone's expectations of him. Jesse was raised to believe other people should cater to him, and that the Browns were a type of royalty. He's parents basically raised him to be spoiled and play with others, and see their desire to please him as a weakness to be exploited--and to believe everyone wants to exploit him too. Jesse was taught it's okay to look down on others because they are weaker, and its okay to keep "things" because he finds them to be beautiful. Then it seems they spend one week a year with Jesse and leave him alone working on the project that may become Moritat later (if we believe Law at this point). Jesse is supposed t be smarter, stronger, and better than everyone else. He cant go around exposing weaknesses.
Well, generally speaking, the Brown family is very very rich and famous. these kinds of people are often the target of outsider meddling (manipulating heirs, theft, murder) if the general public were to discover that this group of rich, influential people could be easily killed by the smallest flesh wound, there would be no end to trouble.
rich influential families already have billion dollar bounties on their heads, but if the wrong people found out how easy it would be to take them down, It'd be a witch hunt.
and considering that the brown family is basically celebrities, they want to look as perfect as possible for the public. who wouldn't? Kim Kardashian wouldn't be nearly as popular if, for example, the public found out she had some embarrassing growth on her chest that was passed down genetically by inbreeding. it just doesn't sound good on a headline, it would be embarrassing to the whole family if they were exposed like that. the same goes for the Brown family and their blood disorder.
YW--sorry about the typos (my fingers often do different things than my brain suggests). What do you think? How do you see Law's motivations?
Thanks. I think you are pretty good at describing Law's motives. I don't think you are alone in not forming a solid opinion--how can we when there is always so much we do not know? But I think you are correct about Law's mother. And about Law wanting to be special. I am not sure how much of Law's perceptions are accurate, and how much has been twisted by his background.
Some of the chapters for this series are down to only one coin on lezhin right now, and other are down to two. I'd encourage anyone who wants to support the author, but cannot do it at the normal price of 3 coins to consider doing it now!
Reading other people's responses to this chapter, I think I interpreted a few things differently regarding Woojin's crappy personality and the scene with Siwoon dying.
1. I think it's important to remember that the Woojin we have seen in the series so far is a reflection of his personality after the immense stress of the only person he's ever loved dying in front of him. Combine that with the fact that he knew something was 'off' about Taemin's death and he probably suffered through the trauma, and possibly denial, alone without any closure. I think it's reasonable to believe that the personality we've seen from Woojin so far is worse than he would normally be considering the circumstances. As for how cold and emotionless he is towards other people in general, please remember that he was absolutely betrayed and abused by his own parents as a child. While not an excuse for being cruel, it's understandable that he wouldn't want to grow attached to others out of fear and expectation of being betrayed again, especially since he is the heir of a wealthy company and people probably try to kiss his butt for money and status as well. By keeping people at a distance and refusing to care about them, he effectively protects himself from pain and exploit.
2. I think I read into the scene with Siwoon dying a bit differently than other people. I think it was a bittersweet moment for Siwoon. Of course the bitter part is that he died after a life of abuse and never was able to stand up for himself or feel loved by the people around him. I think what makes it a nice scene is that his last moments alive were of Woojin running towards him full of the love and despair that Woojin was feeling for Taemin, which we know is significant. However, I don't think Siwoon knew that he was in someone else's body at that moment. From Siwoon's perspective, it must have seemed that in his last moments alive somebody truly loved and cherished him, and I think that's why he was able to close his eyes "as if he had no regrets." After such a difficult life, those thoughts were probably enough to put him at peace.
Well said
well said indeed
I'm shocked that this story is rated as a 9.1. Perhaps it is to some people's likings or a way to pass the time, but I found the story too fast and extremely cliche, the characters shallow, and the non-con that people are conveniently ignoring off-putting.
I do like that omegas have a special place in society but that doesn't make up for the fact that the main alpha disregards what the omega wants with his future and takes him away to his kingdom. It's also not treating omegas very well when the omega asks the alpha to take him safely to his room and the omega wakes up in the middle of sex. No indication that the omega initiated any of it, just, hey, you're not a virgin anymore, but 'at least the alpha is hot!'
Don't get me wrong, I don't care if people want to read non-con and enjoy that, but call it what it is. I find it hard to believe that people are saying this series treats omegas well. If any of the above elements are off-putting to you, i may be worth your time to skip this one.
I agree with you.
