#this chapter is mean

[6]

I know this goes without saying but THAT BALL GOT SO TINY SO FAST.

Also? I’m so glad the earrings that they have only explained as a brief aside one (1) time in the past are suddenly useful without any preamble or reminder. 

I do love that CLAMP plan ahead but also holy heck that was a lengthy and SUBTLE AS ALL HELL set up for this one specific set of complicated events. 

But, I mean, if your earrings can’t save your dads from sudden death then what use are they, really?

It um

It has the power to amplify, right? That’s what Mokona’s earring was supposed to do? 

I guess this works too! MAGIC TRANSPORT LASER FIRE. 

My gay heart is so thrilled to see that Kurogane just isnt letting go of Fai. Which is the LOVE HE DESERVES and also the greatest thing this chapter has to offer. IM IN IT FOR THIS. 

WHY NOT THOUGH?

EVIL WOLVERINE I KNOW YOU HAVE ZERO SKILLS IN EXPLAINING ANYTHING EVER BUT WHY NOT?

Oh I suppose the earring could be amplifying Fai’s original transport spell, which now has enough power to get Kurogane too but not Fai as well. 

I’m just gonna stick with that because I don’t want Evil Wolverine to open his mouth again in all honesty. 

NOT LIKELY. 

FAI HAVE YOU SEEN HOW MUCH THIS MAN LOVES YOU.  THAT IS NOT THE FACE OF A MAN WHO’S GOING TO LET YOU GO. 

THAT IS THE FACE OF A MAN VERY QUICKLY TRYING TO FIND A LOOPHOLE TO DRAG YOUR ASS OUT OF THE LAMEST CURSE ANYONE HAS EVER HEARD OF IN THEIR LIFE

I see the fakeout where it looks like Kurogane is letting go and FAI JUST

MOMENTARILY

HAS THAT FACE

That is this awful mix of relief that he managed to save them and JUST A TAD OF “I knew it” AND? IT BREAKS MY HEART. RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE. FOR AS SHORT AS IT LASTS.
