also idc about her dad/abuser. he shouldve been in jail or executed along with the emperor as well, since hes the warmongering brain of everything that has caused cerise to have grown up as a lab grown super soldier???? im not moved!!! the rebels while eventually revealed to have been dubious and miscalculated on their own strategy, deserves wayyyyy kinder understanding than the father, but not even the commoner massacre survivor/rebel leader (kyle) was afforded a closure, we dont know what fate befall him after the 'battle' if you can even call it that. i feel like im going insane from this story glazing the father!!! lmaooo
also whys there still a crown at all??? they really couldnt just topple the monarchy, afrer everything??? is the entire conflict not enough for the country to want to start anew? a different king wouldnt have made any difference, the country was already in a class-locked power struggle for long before the current king, and cerises father was just continuing an already existing power balance, with the royalist vs. noble class. even after the king v. noble conflict resolved, none of the commoners has gained anything...they will still live in the same socially, economically, and politically stagnant life, only under some different king. not even a talk of a more egalitarian reform or something. just same old whatever.
its such a shame cause cerise herself is a very distinct character. very easy to like and root for her. its also a shame the 'small' story around the relationship of her precinct colleagues and the crimes they solve in the beginning is soooo goooodd. unfortunately the 'big' story just didnt pull its weight around them, especially on tying loose ends. everything was just so....so. the romance is also just whatever, but i let it slide because it really was not important in the first place.
it was off to a promising start but its very anticlimactic, partly because the way the problem itself wasnt strong enough to have a climax.
