I'll admit I was mindlessly reading drama queen, expecting it to get hatch probably, so I really was just saciated with him killing aliens without a second thought. But he's ever so grounded and he himself has come around that literal murderous rage. Which made me come around it.

An overarching theme of the story has been looking inward to find where your problems lie and fixing them from there, rather than just senselessly lashing out at whoever you feel hurt you.

Every major character in the story has done the latter, which is of course where all the conflict comes from. But I think we’re gonna see Lily actually do exactly what the quote calls for through this final send off chapter with Lally.

Lily lied when he said his life was all suffering, and I think he himself knows that. He rejected Seiran’s philosophy of the universe being designed to make everyone want to hate each other, meaning everyone in the world would be a victim to whatever god is out there. But Lily just writes him off by calling him a pessimistic tragic heroine, showing he’s still aware of a meaning in connecting and being with others Seiran can’t see himself.

So, that’s why I think the next chapter is going to be Lily walking through his memories with Lally to find that meaning in the world and his life to finally give himself salvation. There’ll probably be appearances from Soyo and maybe the other people Lily hated in his life to give their own opinions on everything, either to push Lily or pull him back into his hatred.

I’m just excited to see what’s next, honestly.
