Before I elaborate on my extreme and utter joy over this Chapter I wish to point out the comedically inclined names that some of these Chapter's carry. Even this one, while joyful, audibly made me chuckle with "alive-er".
Another favourite I kept in mind was named along the lines of "Great, Margot ruins everything". I don't believe I have seen many comments pointing these small comedy's out, but I felt it was noteworthy.
Not onto the actual chapter: I believe it is so truly touching to read how much Finley truly cares about Elisabeth, even though he has no capability to truly understand how she feels, or how any of the Soul-Bifurcation works, he loves her unconditionally, and it's so so so so heartwarming to experience their love, almost quite literally blossom, within this chapter.
The phrase "his laugh was balm upon my soul" truly is very accurate to how it feels when you are in love, and I am almost confident that, that specific phrase is the most perfect description of that feeling, that I have ever heard.
The two of them are just perfect for each other, and I am glad that Finley is written the way he is. I wouldn't doubt for a second if anyone told me they would fall for Finley, I feel like he is so perfectly respectful and loving toward Elisabeth, almost anyone would fall for someone to the likes of him.
When Marie and Elisabeth finally reunited, I will be honest, I cried a little in joy. The past 3 chapter's had been so heavy in tone and feeling, that seeing this blissful little family together again, truly just meant the world to me.
Marie and Elisabeth, in their own dynamic, are written beautifully and I could not be happier about their outcome as, quite blatantly, family.
I also am very curious about the Radiant Princess, and I genuinely hope that we, as the readers, get more information about her in any future work, the way they speak of her makes it seem as though she has long passed away or is in a far past related to the Lumineuse Kingdom, which makes me wonder what happened to her? Considering she must have been within the Fantasy Realm for quite a long time now, if 3 days equivalate to nearly 6 Months, and she has not been active in over a year.
Which is my way of transitioning into my following question, In what rate is time passing, between the Fantasy Realm and the Real World?
Considering 3 Days equivalate to approximately 6 months, you can assume 1 Day must be 2 months, 12 Hours are 1 Months, so around 3 hours would be a week?
Was Elisabeth only gone from this realm for 3 Hours? If so, then oh Lord she must've genuinely suffered, experiencing that much pain and self hatred in such a brief period of time /gen. I feel a little bad for her still, I won't lie.
