#chapter 8 was a whole other smack in the face 💀

[rosy-crow]

I’m still processing but I really can’t believe we got almost everything we wanted and most of our predictions were right. Like holy shit.

I’m glad Rosen got me in the feels genuinely, and was more than a plot device. This poor kid….

AND THIS LIL MOMENT

;-; stopp these smol lads. Rosen being alone after his people were wiped out and Seph trying to offer to help him after finding his own little found family….this is too painful of a convo for two young boys to be having but…alas…Shinra…..

We knew Rosen would probably die, and that Seph was gonna probably kill him. I liked how they didn’t show Seph’s perspective until later. He really was trying to save his friends and Rosen ASKED to be killed as a mercy. But of course, it just looked like straight murder to Glenn and the others.

Seph’s first act of attempted heroism. Seen as an act of villainy.

I KNEW IT. WE BEEN KNEW.

VERY GOOD SQUARE.

Sure, our “Arcane moment” was in cute FF7 chibi form, so it wasn’t on the same level of intensity and at LEAST Glenn didn’t just leave a child on the sinking island lmao.

But the FUCKING NECKLACE?? Like of all ways to bring it back, they’re like, “Ah fuck there it is” and then Glenn is just “Yeah no fuck that” before Seph can even explain his side of the story….

I MEAN DELIBERATELY DESTROYING A KID’S ONLY PHOTO OF HIS MISSING MOM THAT HE TRUSTED YOU TO KNOW ABOUT IS PRETTY FUCKING HARSH GLENN 💀💀💀

I’m still kinda reeling from that lmao.

And so, I guess Glenn and the others defected shortly afterwards. Who knows what went down with Miniroth, but I guess we’ll find out in the next part.

This was a lot of trauma 🫠
