Minnie originally came from a fishing village with a horrific tradition of sacrificing one of their own for every 50 years. And Minnie, unfortunately (or fortunately), was chosen because she was the only person in the village who had no family or a set job, and thus, she was sacrificed.

Minnie's reaction was of course that she was upset that she was chosen. She didn't want to die. However, soon she came to realization that being sent out to the sea might become an opportunity for her to get out from the village and see the world beyond it. What I like about this part was that Minnie acknowledged her slight resentment towards the villagers. Being told to die would never be a pleasant thing to hear, especially when it was coming from the people whom she grew up with, family or not.

However, Minnie also knew there was no point in holding onto that hate. Now that she was freed from any obligation she has for the village, she decided to do anything she wanted to rather than wasting her time hating the village that sacrifice her.

And as if to reward her, she ended up meeting with the love of her life. It was very heartwarming to see Minnie and Chrono bonding as time passes. Chrono, who had been holding himself inside the ship all alone, finally have someone who genuinely cared for him. By spending time with her, he began to see the world beyond his solitude and experienced varying emotions that he had never felt before, especially love and happiness.

Kizashi might have visited now and then, and while Chrono was grateful of his company to a certain extent, Kizashi's feeling was more selfish, prioritizing enjoying himself without ever considering Chrono's feeling who was supposed to be his "best bud". Minnie, on the other hand, always ask for Chrono's consent and did her best to make him happy.

Hearing Minnie's monologue about her love for her husband was so much endearing. She loved Chrono for who he was, never once wished a what-if scenario if Chrono was a human. Whatever form he had, she was sure that she would still love him. That said, Minnie's imagination of Chrono's human form or cat form might look like was cool and adorable, respectively!

This brought a question if perhaps it was possible for Majiks to assume human form. Hitsugi was capable of taking one, so I won't be surprised if other Majiks could do the same.

True to one of my speculations, Chrono used his power to rewind time to before Minnie got injured, saving her life. However, he had said before that rewinding time of sequences of an event would take an extreme amount of energy. Chrono was already weakened and injured from having to immobilizing Kizashi and his clones, so it's worrying that now he's using all his power to rewind time.

To what extent of an event that he'll rewind? What'll happen to him after this rewind? I don't want Chrono to die! But I can't erase that possibility either! Nishi's writing can be unpredictable! (TT_TT)
