A different atmosphere for a while as the gears continue turning. The world-building here is quite impressive; the setting is expanding rather quickly. Such a heavy blow, man. I really felt that one. Since Haruka struggles so much to level up, it makes sense that he has to find creative ways around his limitations. I guess this is roughly where his strength currently stands. Bro, just give up already, fate is clearly leading you there. WOW, IT ESCALATED TO THAT LEVEL?
