Im also confused but from my understanding his majesty delegates tasks to his loyal subordinates without telling the other teams about the overall plan. In that sense, most of the characters are also confused but carrying out their orders to the best of their ability. So it makes sense that readers are confused too
I actually like this! I think they explored abandonment issues quite well. The story is touching. But ofc its fiction and irl Kirato probably would've given up and Yuuji would've spent a big chunk of his adulthood self-sabotaging and regretting things.
You think so? Kirato has loved Yuji since childhood. He spent his teenage years with him. Yuji was his first love and his first time, and it seems he wants that love to mature along with Yuji. I don't think we should underestimate that. It looked like his world was falling apart when Yuji suggested the breaking up; Kirato didn't want that bro. Yuji held his heart in his hands. He loves Yuji—as a boyfriend, a friend, and a person—because the story made it quite clear that Yuji is a part of him. Personally, I find it really sweet; after all, just taking a single step forward makes a difference. Kirato isn't proud or resentful. He draws close when he should and steps back when he should, because he always thinks of Yuji's well-being.
I totally agree with the points you're making about Kirato but since you asked, I still stand by my "irl" viewpoint because I just feel as though once your heart is broken enough times by the one you love, its not always easy to get back up and go to the ends of the earth for a person again and again and again because in his fear of being abandoned, Yuuji abandons Kirato first. Ig I was thinking of this in more so of an "irl" couple rather than these two in particular.
Ik everyone is mad abt her cheating (and I dont condone it) but I kinda took it as her also wanting a different reaction from him. At some point, he no longer mourned her death properly. He began to see it apathetically, as another failure, etc. She could see him becoming worn down and she mentions that what hurt more than the pain of dying was slowly seeing him become desensitized and apathetic to her. Perhaps she wanted a confirmation of his love for her. But yeah, these 15 long years took a lot from both of them and they are no longer the young loving couple they once were. It was just that one of them had to realize it. And Euri did. She didn't wanna live in an endless cycle where the people she loved grow older while she dies every year and stays forever young. She couldn't pretend that everything was okay anymore. So the year when she finally broke out of the cycle of reincarnation, she takes her life for real to liberate her and him of the curse. I think the story leaves some things to be desired but its overall a nuanced and memorable read! Better than the majority of the emotionless copy paste slop we get these days! Ik I am yapping lots. Thx for reading. Xoxo ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
