God damn. I was rereading this manga and the vibes really have been downhill since chapter 179. That's almost 5 years and 100 chapters of the author making me sad on purpose. Don't get me wrong, I love the drama and the intrigue, and I think everything is well-written, but what I wouldn't give for a moment of triumph or fluff to alleviate the soul-crushing empathy I feel for these characters and their suffering.
