Tell the bees to watch out for these hands, 'cause they're coming in for a hug.
Jokes aside, this chapter is one truly deserving of the thinking emoji I often abuse round these parts. The issue posited here is rooted in a very veracious sense of patriarchy, where women's value as people seem to be sieved through these societal flowcharts: is woman? yes, then is royal? yes, then is marriage? no, then she's worthless! And Mitsu not signing on to this with an incel's heart and Amber's inherent reluctance to even propose something like this are not only refreshing, but also admirable, seeing as they recognise the innate flaw of this system.
And with how we're coming out of a chapter where Mitsu and Amber were more or less in sync, physically and spiritually. And now, you can argue that Mercy's magic fed into the pretence of a fake relationship that in turn fed into the genuineness of the moment. And if that's the case, even unintentionally, then this is pretty peak. Congraties.
