This chapter is everything I had been waiting for and more, seriously. There are a couple of things that stood out to me while reading the raw and I want to note them down before I forget (and to compare once the official English version is released)! Just in case, here’s my rudimentary translation of their scenes in case anyone’s a bit lost with my commentary.

(Spoiler images inside! Don’t read if you don’t want to spoil yourself!)

On the one hand, you have Jill meeting Jote and thinking "I know how you feel". Goddamn these Rosfields do not know how to love their ladies.

And then you have Joshua promising Cid that his sacrifice won't be in vain. That he always knew Dion would come through for him. Wondering if Jote likes her new home. Apologizing to Jill that Clive took her Eikon.

Jote thinking that she's uncomfortable around dogs and Torgal sensing it and thinking that he'd never hurt her. Jote admiring Mid for being so bright and being jealous of Crow's childhood.

Dion missing Terence, being annoyed by Obolus' singing, and being afraid to face Harpocrates.

Clive's stages of grief when he thinks about Joshua and then him asking Torgal if he saw him at Drake's Head. His reaction to Cid's death.

And then you have Torgal wondering where everyone went after Phoenix gate and wondering where Cid went.

One more time I bring you this amazing Omake in english.

As last months, the edition and translation is mine so it isn't perfect.

THEY SHIP HOPERAI

Oh god, THIS idea sounds freaking amazing, I’d give anything to read it! 🥹

It’d tie in nicely with a possible theory to Jote’s ring 👀 IIRC, in many cultures, a ring worn on the left middle-finger indicates you’re engaged to someone.
