me reacting to the adult version of merula:

charmer

shut up, i’m in grief

I was rereading the datamine here and anyway, I'm glad that Merula had a redemption ❤️, but I found this redemption very superficial and poorly written, as if something or a lot was missing.

There wasn't a chapter that better clarified how Merula saw Khanna's Circle as her family, in fact, it doesn't seem to make much sense. MC (JC's MC) yes, it's more understandable that Merula sees him as family, because he welcomed her many times, but the rest of the Circle, well, I think Merula cares about the Circle (she already showed concern about some members, Charlie in the Dragon's Treasure SQ, Ismelda, Ben, when he was going to be killed by Rakepick, Penny/Barnaby/Tallbott, in chapter 52, even if she's rude to the members sometimes), but it has never been so worked in fact.

Why she have this reflection now and not before? What about the people who kicked Merula out of the Circle? Does Merula consider them family too? Maybe she considers those who voted for she stay, well, weird.

Anyway, JC doing what he knows how to do best. And yet another proof that JC doesn't like Merula, she just uses her fame. If JC liked her, it would give to worthy character development.

I also think there was a lack of a general apology from Merula to the entire Circle in this redemption. The absence of this request only reinforces that she would continue proud.

And Verucca had a very simple end. I think it's amazing that Merula disarmed her, but I think this scene deserved a more epic battle between Verucca and Merula or Verucca and Peregrine, MC. Verucca is a metamorphmagus, has been publicized all along as a dangerous witch. They gave a simple ending to what seemed like a great villain. She was arrested and that's it.

Peregrine is released and will return.

New Datamine Prophet was released! Spoilers are bound of course!
