WHAT DEATH TAUGHT ME IS ACTUALLY INSANE. I NEED TO SIT DOWN, STAND UP, WALK AROUND MY ROOM, STARE AT THE CEILING, AND THEN COME BACK TO READ IT AGAIN BECAUSE WHAT IN THE ABSOLUTE CINEMA DID I JUST WITNESS????? 😭😭😭🛐 FIRST OF ALL, "RINETTE DIKLA HILT. MY GIRL. MY POOR GIRL. MY QUEEN." THIS WOMAN HAS BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH TO FILL AN ENTIRE LIBRARY OF TRAGEDIES, AND SOMEHOW SHE STILL GETS BACK UP AND FIGHTS FOR HERSELF AND HER FAMILY. THE WAY SHE GETS A SECOND CHANCE AND DECIDES THAT THIS TIME THINGS WILL BE DIFFERENT????? GIRL, I AM ON MY KNEES. I AM IN THE TRENCHES WITH YOU. LET ME JOIN YOUR WAR BECAUSE WE HAVE BUSINESS TO FINISH. 😭🙏🏻 AND "KANNA BOISSIERE?????" OH, I HAVE SO MANY THINGS TO SAY ABOUT THIS WOMAN THAT MY LAWYER HAS ADVISED ME TO REMAIN SILENT. THE AUDACITY. THE MANIPULATION. THE WAY SHE CAN MAKE YOU WANT TO THROW YOUR PHONE ACROSS THE ROOM THROUGH A SCREEN. EVERY TIME SHE SHOWS UP, MY BLOOD PRESSURE STARTS ACTING LIKE IT HAS A PERSONAL BEEF WITH ME. MISS GIRL, PLEASE GET A HOBBY THAT DOES NOT INVOLVE RUINING EVERYONE'S LIFE. 😭💀 AND ARGOS???? SIR. SIRRRRR. YOU HAD ONE JOB. ONE. AND YOU STILL MANAGED TO MAKE ME QUESTION EVERY SINGLE THING I THOUGHT I KNEW ABOUT YOU. THE BETRAYAL???? THE NERVE???? THE ABSOLUTE DISRESPECT????? I NEED A FULL-LENGTH DOCUMENTARY EXPLAINING HOW THIS MAN LOOKED AT RINETTE AND MADE THOSE CHOICES. BECAUSE I AM NOT MOVING ON UNTIL MY EMOTIONAL DAMAGE HAS BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED. 😭 NOW, LET'S TALK ABOUT PISCO ADAM. MY FAVORITE CHARACTER. MY EVERYTHING. MY REASON FOR LOSING MY ENTIRE MIND. HELLO????? CAN WE PLEASE APPRECIATE THIS MAN FOR A SECOND????? BECAUSE I AM NOT NORMAL ABOUT HIM. I HAVE NEVER CLAIMED TO BE NORMAL ABOUT HIM. I WILL NEVER BE NORMAL ABOUT HIM. 😭🛐 EVERY TIME PISCO SHOWS UP, MY ATTENTION SPAN GOES FROM ZERO TO ONE HUNDRED IN A MILLISECOND. EVERYONE ELSE COULD BE HAVING THE MOST IMPORTANT CONVERSATION IN THE HISTORY OF THE KINGDOM, AND I'D STILL BE LOOKING AT HIM LIKE, "YES, SIR, PLEASE CONTINUE EXISTING. TAKE YOUR TIME. I AM LISTENING." THE WAY I AM SO INVESTED IN THIS MAN SHOULD BE STUDIED BY SCIENTISTS. AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON HIS WHOLE VIBE. THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT PISCO THAT HAS ME IN A CHOKEHOLD, AND I REFUSE TO SEEK HELP. THE CHARACTER APPRECIATION IS REAL. THE BIAS IS UNDENIABLE. THE OBJECTIVITY LEFT THE BUILDING THREE CHAPTERS AGO. I COULD WRITE A WHOLE THESIS ON WHY HE DESERVES MORE LOVE, MORE APPRECIATION, AND WAY MORE SCREEN TIME. GIVE ME A PISCO-CENTRIC CHAPTER AND I WILL CLEAR MY ENTIRE SCHEDULE. NO QUESTIONS ASKED. 😭🙏🏻 THE FUNNIEST PART IS THAT I'M SUPPOSED TO BE FOLLOWING THE PLOT, BUT MY BRAIN HAS OTHER PLANS. RINETTE IS FIGHTING FOR HER FUTURE, EVERYONE IS PLAYING POLITICAL CHESS, SECRETS ARE BEING REVEALED, AND I'M JUST THERE LIKE, "OKAY, BUT WHEN IS PISCO COMING BACK????" THE AUTHOR COULD DROP THE MOST EARTH-SHATTERING PLOT TWIST EVER, AND I'D STILL NEED A MOMENT TO RECOVER IF PISCO IS INVOLVED. AND PINBERK???? YEAH, HE'S THERE. 😭✋🏻 I'M SURE HE HAS HIS MOMENTS, BUT AM I LOSING MY MIND OVER HIM? NO. AM I WRITING PARAGRAPHS ABOUT HIM IN MY NOTES APP AT THREE IN THE MORNING? ALSO NO. I'M NOT SAYING ANYTHING BAD, I'M JUST SAYING THAT MY EYES HAVE A FAVORITE CHARACTER, AND THAT CHARACTER IS VERY MUCH PISCO ADAM.RESPECTFULLY, MY LOYALTY IS ELSEWHERE. 😭💀 NOW, BACK TO RINETTE, BECAUSE MY GIRL DESERVES HER OWN APPRECIATION POST. THE REGRESSION, THE BETRAYAL, THE FAMILY DRAMA, THE ROYAL POLITICS, THE CONSTANT SUSPICION????? EVERYONE IS HIDING SOMETHING. EVERYONE HAS AN AGENDA. TRUST ISSUES? DEVELOPED. PARANOIA? INSTALLED. EMOTIONAL STABILITY? UNINSTALLED SUCCESSFULLY. YOU START READING THINKING, "OH, THIS IS JUST ANOTHER REGRESSION MANHWA." AND SUDDENLY YOU'RE TEN CHAPTERS DEEP, DEFENDING RINETTE LIKE SHE'S YOUR BLOOD RELATIVE, SIDE-EYEING KANNA THROUGH YOUR SCREEN, QUESTIONING EVERY DECISION ARGOS HAS EVER MADE, AND WAITING FOR PISCO TO APPEAR LIKE HE'S THE MAIN EVENT. I DID NOT SIGN UP TO BECOME A PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR AND A FULL-TIME PISCO ENTHUSIAST. WHY AM I WORKING OVERTIME????? 😭😭😭 THE ART, THE EXPRESSIONS, THE ATMOSPHERE, THE DRAMA—EVERYTHING MAKES THE STORY FEEL TEN TIMES MORE INTENSE. EVERY TIME SOMETHING HAPPENS, I HAVE TO PAUSE AND PROCESS IT LIKE MY BRAIN IS RUNNING ON AN ANCIENT COMPUTER WITH 2 GB OF RAM. AND TO THE AUTHOR???? THANK YOU FOR CREATING PISCO ADAM. THANK YOU FOR PUTTING HIM IN THIS STORY. THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME A CHARACTER TO BE THIS UNREASONABLY OBSESSED WITH. HOWEVER, I WOULD LIKE TO FORMALLY REQUEST MORE PISCO CONTENT. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. THIS IS NOT A SUGGESTION. THIS IS A MATTER OF NATIONAL IMPORTANCE. 😭🛐 **FINAL VERDICT: 100000/10.** WOULD ABSOLUTELY RUIN MY SLEEP SCHEDULE AGAIN. WOULD ABSOLUTELY GET EMOTIONALLY ATTACHED AGAIN. WOULD ABSOLUTELY ARGUE WITH MY SCREEN AGAIN. RINETTE, I SUPPORT YOU AND YOUR HAPPINESS. KANNA, I AM WATCHING YOU. ARGOS, WE NEED TO HAVE A VERY LONG CONVERSATION. PINBERK, GOOD FOR YOU, I GUESS. AND PISCO ADAM???? MY FAVORITE MAN. MY ROMAN EMPIRE. MY UNEMPLOYMENT ARC. MY REASON TO KEEP TURNING PAGES. 😭😭😭🫶🏻 WHAT DEATH TAUGHT ME? THAT I SHOULD NEVER TRUST A PRETTY FACE, NEVER GET TOO COMFORTABLE IN A REGRESSION STORY, AND NEVER UNDERESTIMATE MY ABILITY TO BECOME COMPLETELY, UTTERLY, EMBARRASSINGLY OBSESSED WITH ONE FICTIONAL CHARACTER. ANYWAY, I'M GOING BACK TO REREAD IT BECAUSE APPARENTLY I HAVE LEARNED ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. AND IF PISCO IS IN THE CHAPTER, NOBODY SPEAK TO ME. I'M BUSY. 🛐😭🔥
