In the beginning I was soooo irritated with Cliff. Yes the author has influence but something about a man getting man at a woman who has 0 influence over who she’s marrying rubs me wrong. He has ALL the power! but knowing what we know now, knowing that Cliff thinks she’s giddy about having forced him into a marriage makes his reaction a lot more understandable. Idk when you think about how she must look to others it changes things a bit and makes for more understandable character choices… one of my top isekai irks is characters acting too extreme or being inconsistent based on what is needed in that moment and I thought that smoothed it over nice
Despite what is being said she is clearly not alive— she hasn’t aged a DAY and the author was intentional about aging the characters… they are getting their happy ending in the afterlife
That is why all that fantasy stuff is being said— they are reuniting in death to enjoy the time that their tragedies stole from them exactly as Sakoto had wished it would be… telling him welcome home
But there's a scene where they were both hugging with wrinkles on their faces? Now I'm even more confused
