Bro... When I think about possibly having a child I'm always so worried and anxious about being able to meet all their needs emotionally and physically... Like will I be able to be there for him/her when she needs it, what if I think I'm doing the right thing but it's not, what if this, what if that... At the end of the day all I can hope is that my partner or even someone close to me will stop me from choosing the wrong path for my child's sake... So when I saw all those people willing to fill different roles of a parent to raise Mori as best as they can, it made me so emotional ╥﹏╥ The fact that they listed the best qualities they can each individually provide to raise him collectively and Miria saying that she's not sure she can fullfill the Mom role all by herself but will try her best felt so inherently human to me that I'm bawling my eyes out right now... This story's so freaking good!!!

I'm hooked by the plot with the ml's mom like she doesn't seem to love the duke and even one of the duke's first question to the ml was "what is your mom planning?!" not "where is she, I missed her so much!" and even his interactions with the ml are kinda weak? like he isn't overly defensive/agressive towards the duchess when it comes to him so I'm like was there really an affair or was the duke manipulated by the ml's mom??? Even more so when you look at how the duchess behaves. She really doesn't seem that bad and aside from not giving his original room to the ml she didn't really do anything malicious. She seems to act like a decent duchess too, she's not arrogant nor really jealous ... while ml said she despises him it could be that it's not because he's the result of her husband's affair but more like he's the result of some dark manipulation plot by ml's mom? Bro... I'm more invested in that side of the story than the romance between fl and ml... which seems quite predictable for now tbh (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜

Bro... at this point I just want liliana to get healthy as quick as possible and for the whole family accompanied by edgar and leo to go back to trovancha ╥﹏╥ like, why do the babies have to suffer because the emperor is a shithead and the other empire citizens are dumbasses with prejudices let the negative people be together in their ass empire and go back to your unproblematic, warm and peaceful kingdom

Somehow I hope that they will all soon realize that she is the 24 y.o. Patricia and that she'll drop the kid act because it is kinda creepy right now ...
It just feels so weird how the family is just like well we'll atone for the past 24 years by showering this stand-in daughter with love instead of repenting for our mistakes with Patricia... Bruh, even after she went to the military they had the chance to maintain contact and try to reconciliate but they didn't... And Patricia is accepting so easily, girl don't you have any respect for the past you that had to endure all of their neglect?
Also the king being like "I didn't employ her because I miss my first love but still I'll act possessive and blush like a shy maiden in love" like bro what!? she's in the body of a 12 y.o. and you're like 19-20!
Something is wrong here if this whole 12 year old arc continues for too long without them knowing that she's Patricia. Even after that, I think I'd still feel creeped out if any kind of romance develops while she's still in that underage body and even if everyone knows who she is ...
I mean when you consider Guwon's circonstances he really just has the mind of a child that doesn't know right or wrong... And even then, the rules that he made up look like they were established based on trial and errors like... he realized how important drugs were for the town in the past so of course who would want a shortage of those in dire circonstances? I mean between the life of a child that isn't really useful at the moment and the probability of a hound/villager that is essential to the town needing the same medicine in the near future, the choice is evident... especially if it's like the last stock of medicine... in dark times, dark decisions have to be made.
While the punishment of being beaten too death might have been a bit too much for the crime, it could also be explained if in the past there was lighter punishments and people were not scared of it and did not respecting the rules in consequence... I mean we have prisons in our society for a reason but I imagine that during the apocalypse why would you want to take care of a prisoner when food is scarce and you'd need dedicated facilities/surveillance for him? So instead eliminate the guy and make sure that everybody else learn to not make the same mistake so... ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ the public punishment makes sense to me.
Now, while he may consider Teach's opinion on right or wrong rules/decisions, I can feel that feels will go down like... can the rights and wrongs applied in a normal society even be applied the same way in an apocalyptic world? I doubt that... He's probably gonna listen to him and shit's gonna go down ( ̄へ ̄)
