Earlier in the previous chapter I wondered if that thing was her real mother or an illusion made by the mansion but after reading this chapter, well...
That was real...Because alternatively, if the mansion did make it up, it would show MC what she wants and expects and trap her to break the rules so...
Also hits hard because this chapter is realistic. Compared to me, MC was really patient and endured it so much.
I wonder if this chapter was targeted for those who are in the 18-33 age range. You just sit there blankly after reading it because it hits close to home...
Those who are suffering and struggling with family members like these, please focus on yourself. Distract yourself and don't hand them power over your emotions and thoughts. It may feel like an eternity but will soon end. You just happen to be in a bad place in a bad time, things will get better soon, and you will receive immense happiness and joy.

Okay so, don't get me wrong, this is my personal opinion and you don't have to agree with me. I like how Erez's character is written, esp in this timeline since he was an absolute scumbag in the previous one. The yandereness is still there since he targeted a good looking theatre member this time. I would have held him in a better light had he not done that, but it was done to shatter any hopes of his character redemption.
What I don't like is, the direction his plot is going. It would be a good end to his life if he just died there. But no, the red haired devil has decided to restore his memories from his former life and I feel like that ruins the character he developed in this timeline. In a way it's like an older save file overwriting the newer save file but the personality is absolutely horrible in the older one.
Then again, this is my personal pet peeve in stories where the antagonist also gains memories along with the protagonist and make things harder for the latter in the name of spicing up the drama and thrill.
It was already tough for Ayana to steel her resolve and let him die. Her main goal was revenge against the Russells, and she had to achieve it no matter what.
Oh bug off, slap your twin sister, MC
