happy late 2026 to you as well, nonnie! i am absolutely devastated, i spent the entire day loudly sobbing on and off when we got part 3 a few days ago. there have been many points in prior cantos that emotionally moved me or got me to start choking up, this one had me descend into full-on crying.

...anyways little araya is adorable, and i am crushed that none of us could protect that little sweetheart's precious smile.
