Just binged it, and I feel like the story pace was good at the beginning but recently just slowed down a ton….i feel like they needed to expand of ciel’s experience in Korea to grow his narrative to drive their disconnection more, but it’s like, he just gave up on all the feelings that cause their rift in the first place.
Yeah, I think they briefly mentioned it here and there about him feeling scared of being controlled by the organisation or that he didn't want to be used and taken advantage of.
But same, I wish we got a clear flash back from his point of view and see how he was living with conflicting feeling towards soyeon/Irene.

Chapter 79 and maybe even 78 gave us absolutely effing nothing. What garbage filler. All those panels wasted on nothing. It was bad enough to make me want to drop this now. So stupid. Like this entire chapter could have been one panel...
