i love you's manga / #ick translations(8)

why hasn't my disciple boy realised it yet? i mean usually it takes a lot of time to reinstate a dead identity yes, but this man is very much like your master?? even you yourself think that, and have been giving this man too much leeway. normally this kind of "recognising identity after death" goes like master refuses to acknowledge their identity, while disciple is using all sorts of trickery to make them admit it, but this time the master is doing everything he can to make his little disciple recognise him, he's so straightforward and explicit? ig this is a different twist on this trope? idk i yearn for the love where they can recognise the person no matter what form they take, the type of relationship where the answer to "would you still love me if i was a worm?" is a definite yes yk?
