To be honest, the story is quite refreshing. While angst-heavy stories typically rely on time travel and altering the future—a trope I am quite tired of—this one takes a different approach. Although it lacks the scientific elements I generally enjoy, I am deeply disappointed by the inclusion of the R-19 scene, which makes the narrative feel unsettling (though the story has been dark from the start). Regardless, I hope the characters eventually communicate and forgive one another, and that the grand duke stops blaming the empress, as none of this has ever been her fault
