Really, my biggest goal, drawing aside, was to lose myself into something normal and away from all the magical bullshit I've dealt with so I can at least seem happy with Kia.
What strikes me most about this chapter is how each character's dialogue reveals their psychology without a single narrator aside. Huo Yunshu's lines are all demands and self-justifications: 'Stay away from my sister-in-law,' 'Help me wash my clothes,' 'I'm a man, and a sent-down youth at that—my hands are meant for writing.' He's performing masculinity even as he's being used. Ruan Xiaodie's voice is different—she agrees too quickly, says 'Yes!' with exclamation points, and her dialogue is full of eager compliance that masks calculation. When she says 'Yunshu, once you trick Ruan Jiaojiao back, you can have a rich young lady washing your clothes,' the author lets her ambition leak through the domestic fantasy. Fu Ting's dialogue is the most revealing: 'Jiaojiao, my darling sweetheart, don't be angry anymore, alright?' The repetition of the same few phrases shows a man who has learned to apologize but hasn't yet internalized why. The children's voices are pitch-perfect—Xiaobao's 'Xiaobao's already grown up! Xiaobao even has a wife now, hmph!' captures that adorable, stubborn toddler logic, while Dabao's calm manipulation ('I'm older and smarter. Of course Sister Douhua would like me better.') shows a child who's already learning social strategy. Gu Yun's 'Sister-in-law, you really know how to handle a husband!' is the chapter's funniest line because it's genuine admiration from someone who doesn't understand the power dynamics at play.

The sight of watching Ruo Qin's tears are his absolute weakness.
"Wha-what i-it's not like I wanted to go or anything but if you insist then I don't mind" Tsurai said as she turned her head the other way and there is a noticeable hint of red from her face
"Now I wish to introduce the following idea. Between the age limits of nine and fourteen there occur maidens who, to certain bewitched travelers, twice or many times older than they, reveal their true nature which is not human, but nymphic (that is, demoniac); and these chosen creatures I propose to designate as 'nymphet.'"—Lolita 1955, Humbert Humbert (Vladimir Nabokov)Definition: an attractive and sexually mature young girl.Author-san these references are getting out of hand. I feel like she is trying to add more and more obscure references to see if we readers are paying attention. CantsayImmadthough.
