And while her husband is in Bilbao doubting she loves him, Ines herself knows she loves her husband:
Ines laughing in delight over her beautiful name, Inés Escalante de Perez, which puts her under Carcel’s shadow

Ines gets annoyed by the thought of Maria in Calztela where she left her husband. Novel tells us in a later scene she was pleased by Raul’s letter that reported Carcel refused Maria’s visit by saying his wife was not at home so he won’t receive visitors.

When Luciano asks how is Carcel, Ines says her husband is amazing and he’s the reason why she’s doing better. Her brother is surprised and tells her he’s never seen her smile like that before. Manhwa left out that on the way to the Formente match, Luciano also tells Ines that she blushes every time he mentions her husband.

This suggests that either Akane made a mistake and sent Nene to the wrong date, and she ended up in the new present version of middle school and is somehow gonna have to find a way outta there, or it's a plot hole where Akane SOMEHOW managed to ignore the changes done to the 4th bday and access the original past (the murder), even tho that shouldn't be possible, since the alteration in the 4th bday would've changed everything that came after, INCLUDING the murder (which wouldn't have even happened, as Hanako lived to adulthood).
The other possibly is that the change happened during the MURDER, NOT the birthday as Nene had thought. Sadly, that raises another question: how tf the clock keepers contracted Tsukasa. The only point he would've been available to go with the clock keepers is during the 4th bday, before he gives himself to the Entity. If he stays, he's taken, and by middle school he's already become one with it, the clock keepers wouldn't be able to do anything, and so there's no point in going there either way. That is to say, sending Nene to any time other than the 4th bday makes absolutely so sense and I if might be a plot hole the author forgot to address.
This all works under the assumption the change was turning Tsukasa into the cat during the 4th bday, therefore "erasing him" from the timeline. If the cat was just some throwaway character and not Tsukasa, and the change was not related to Tsukasa being contracted by the clock keepers before giving himself to the Entity in the 4th bday, then the change still could've been something else and happened during the murder summer instead.
This likely did not make any sense. Oh well.
I'm still hella confused about Akane's knowledge tho. He's the product of one of Nene's attempts at changing the future?? I THINK the future where she stays in the red house (and thus where Akane is coming from) is the future she was about to create that very day, but was interrupted when Akane traveled back to the beginning of the festival before Nene could enact her plan. This is very confusing dude.
Also, minor note, it's really cool when Akane puts the yorishiro up to his mouth. I have no idea what the symbolism is, but it's cool.

One minute I wanna say, “um girly pop his behavior is neither cute nor healthy” and the next I wanna say, “God I wish I’d get ravished by my hot boyfriend too every time he touches me!”
What is this duality I feel…idk ╥﹏╥ the ML I think is straddling the line perfectly between healthy/unhealthy, and red/green flag(づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ I can’t fully hate him but I can’t fully say his behavior is all bad either….such a tough spot to be in! ╥﹏╥

But besides this, I’ll say the plot is pretty interesting, going back in time and creating the loop we see now. I like short stories but I love long stories more, but short stories is where the idea is straight forward and not dragged out, but with long stories, we can see the plot more developed but I’m glad this one was short and sweet

This is clearly something meant to be more wholesome, going to the future, falling in love wirh someone (where both are fucking adults and probably same age) then going back to your timeline to find your love and saving them from an abusive household. Then making sure their well taken care of (like a person donating to an orphanage) even in the beginning you can see the duke even tries to let the guy forgwt him cuz despite falling for each other when they met (probably same age with the weird time travel) but with the timelines aligning hes much older ans wants him to date someone his age. FUCK i hate this literally every fucking comment has the word pedo in it i cant fucking read in peace. I know this is a me problem and its obv im just triggered so let me yell in my little corner. Im not yelling at anyone or angry im just frustrated and need an outlet

Yeah, she was a maid but those were years of intimate nights. Even I would have folded. Even going as far as calling her wife. Saying everyone knows it by now. Bro was doing lip service all along. Must’ve figured sex was better if he got her all swooned and sweet.
Such a sad thing. To find out the love you thought was mutual was something they could easily discard. What a shitty feeling. It really is. Fuck that.
Use that dick til its all shriveled up.
It is nice to see her get revenge. I wish she could do physical harm to the princess tho but I guess emotional scarring is okay too.
Pregnant or not. The one who sinned doesn’t really get a say in what form of retaliation the victim will take.
What a shitty life though. Lived in service of others. Loved? Maybe. Killed. (Fuck that shit)
Not even a moment of peace. An afterlife full of sorrow and revenge.

There should be a lesson somewhere. Or maybe not. It exists but it doesn’t have to have meaning. Not everything has to be… anything or logic-driven. Sometimes, it exist because it’s a human-ly thing. Flawed and trying. Sometimes I fail to remember that not everything has to have some kind of meaning. It’s just… yours. Simply your story to tell.

Anyways hopefully this isn’t a sorta “clickbait” ending where it misleads readers to think Taeha and mincheol will meet, but it doesn’t actually happen yet lol.
