very interesting. i understand the desire for intensity of feeling|experience, but the trust being placed in euryale is not a choice i'd make so i am struggling a bit with the motivations. this was a good chapter to wrap up the arc of the last few, and i am looking forward to seeing what comes next with the village in the forest, and then the northern province and return to the duchy.

question: how does the oath that josie swore to the heavens interact with dahlia's soul being alive after her bodily death? would she be required to continue to serve or protect dahlia? while the circumstances are slightly different, i cannot imagine that souls finding new bodies is unheard of.

Josie, however, had been glowering and unsociable just as much as Valentina. The two who typically argued and were constantly at one another's throats were instead finding camaraderie in each other. The joint silence they created in a corner of the room left a palpable aura of gloom that no one could manage to fix. Avery wanted to plan for their future test, and they did, but the planning was curt, to the point, and undeniably awkward. Bessie had also tried to cheer them up just by being friendly, but neither woman could bring themselves to relax and enjoy the maid's company enough for their mood to improve.

i like her sass, that plus the unfiltered and predatory personality is a dangerous sort of fun.

intriguing! initially i thought dahlia was hearing the voice due to her connection with nature (mana), but now it seems like that wasn't the only reason. the newcomer's word choice is very interesting, and i have a feeling that valentina is being wound up here on purpose although i still am unsure of what the motivations could be.

i came back to reread this set of chapters (again) and still find them so poignant - it continues to be really difficult to put words to how they feel.

i'm very much looking forward to see how this unfolds. although the pacing of the plot and the complexity from the intertwined events may become a problem as the story progresses if a balance of 'reader awareness' is not struck. i'm also looking forward to seeing how you will manage that. also, is there a means for providing financial support to you and this work? i'd like to do so and would be interested in offline copies (pdf/epub) of the story.

the idea of bringing capitalism to this new world seems abhorrent.

Would monopoly be too complicated?

mmm, i'd probably say she is incomprehensible. as those of us that experience time in a strictly linear sense are unable to understand what it is like to see more than the present. i imagine our ability to rationally chose (and justify said choice) would fall away as the scope of the choice expands further. seems like it would require a whole new sense of ethics and morality which could only serve to further alienate oneself from others.

i don't normally post comments in succession like this, but i've been waiting on this reveal for a while now. i'm intrigued by how things will go from here but i'm also thinking that we don't know enough about primordials to know if dahlia's bloodline truly poses an existential threat by existing for now. i'm also really interested in hearing more of the mechanics of the new schema for bessy. that sounds like one of the more interesting applications of magic we've seen so far.

so at least about once every 80 seconds, although that is weighted towards an average, which wouldn't have reflected the earlier cycles, as those would have been much faster. yikes that is really disconcerting. hopefully this is an appropriate hubris check for the party. the previous comments about relativistic power scales and such now make much more sense with this as a context point.

"Yeah, temporal cycles like that along with getting killed repeatedly has a way of messing with your perception of time. The answer is closer to four hours though; Lukresh, you died over one hundred and eighty times in that timeframe."
