I loved the bit about seeing the world in black and white! I wonder if Noah will ever be able to see a bit of gray again

“Noah, I love you in all the ways that a man can love another man that stole the body of his irredeemable brother and used it to fix his reputation, help his former students, and murder our oppressive father...” this line is glorious. *chefs kiss*

Damn ninjas cutting onions in my room. Wonderful bit of character development here bud.

TYFTC! Awww, that was very sweet. It is good to see that Noah understands that he doesn't see grey, just black and white, and knows that he needs others to help him there. Also he is right, he would not have talked to Janice, he would have given her a single chance, and then it would have been it.

That was a great pep talk. Still wondering where Bird is though. Not even once time. -> even one time.

Maybe him starting down the godhood road is just the outward manifestation of what his internal self; his soul, mind, tri-self, willpower and all, all accumulated together actually adds up to what stage he is actually at. His outward self is starting to catch up with and accurately show what he really is on the inside. Like a good person that is a truly beautiful person on the inside but physically ugly on the outside, starting to change physically to match the beauty within, to become beautiful on the outside. I hope that made sense!!

"This isn't jerky!" "It came from a jerk, what else could it be?"

I'm not sure I'd eat unidentified meat Lee handed me...
Ywoak
Good talk
Alexander Dupree
She’s just a mite peckish
Govir Drauka
You’d think that, but it was centipedes all the way down!
Tacit Candor
I occasionally forget just how good Lee is, and always love getting a reminder.

“not the must fulfilling of roles” must -> most

Centipeñata? …uh, maybe better not; now that I wrote it out, I feel like it's easy to misunderstand. 🫣
Tommy
From past experience with Lee. She is far wiser than she appears! Lots of compassion there too imo
Tommy
“centipede full of nightmare centipedes and to be told you don’t have a way out” Think the first centipede should be citadel TFTC!
Philipp Battenberg
Lee can be quite insightful at times. And, of course, all meraphors of hers are related to food/eating. It's what she knows best.
Danielle W.
You know, what Lee said may be simple, but it’s strangely philosophical and profound, especially considering that she was just talking about a piece of jerky.
Philipp Battenberg
Or they were playing a NES game on an emulator? 😇

I think that it's very intentional. They contrast eachother. Plot-wise: Noah got scrambled very heavily by soul damage; he has 3 of him, one of which is literally compressed trauma. Lee was held back by her demon runes, but she has always had her more humane side, which is why we love her. The plot has essentially allowed Lee to be herself, while Noah gets to deal with more and more of his issues as they get exacerbated, like an endless pile of work, only growing larger.

Awww! I am so sad for Brayden still being heartsick/broken over Janice, especially since it has only been around 9 months…but I love how Noah and Lee tried to comfort him. Lee has such a wise, but also child like way to how she sees things. So silly and so smart.
Josh Turple
It had originally been in the center of the rom. Room
Firel Dakuraito
Lee using jerky for delivering wisdom was unexpected. I am surprised Brayden held that punch for Janice when Noah said he would kill her on the spot. Good that he ket him explain the context.
Philipp Battenberg
"a centipede full of nightmare centipedes" Centipede piñata!
Tractor
I feel like Lee is becoming more human while Noah is becoming less
Lizy Flore
Brayden 😭 oh I love that chapter, the family moment are the best 🥹 “hold back the river” was playing while I read the chapter, how fitting
Lizy Flore
I do like those little reminders that Noah is, fundamentally and mentally, not a mortal. Power-wise, he is, but it’s the only thing about him that is. The rest is not.
