And I absolutely cannot wait to continue reading and see what happens next!

In conclusion: Padparadscha scares me.

Did Aechmea change Padparadscha somehow? I wouldn’t be surprised. I think even Yellow was cut down during the whole thing. I’m sure that Phos was shattered in the process. And then the Lunarians came. And it was Cairngorm at their helm wasn’? I’m losing it. I can’t with this whole situation.

I do not even know what the hell happened there. Padparadscha went berserk. I know it was mentioned that Padparadscha was second only to Bort I think but oh wow that was insane. There’s something with them though. I’m sure of it. Rutile came at them full force (it was intense to see Rutile the calm and collected doctor become very ninja-like almost feral) and Pad had just cut them down, no hesitation.

First of all, the Lunar fashion is so cool. Padparadscha, Yellow and Phos all look great! But what do you mean “buh-bye!” Oh no.

Cairngorm? CAIRNGORM!

I’m horrified! That was very unsettling. Aechmea seemed so much like Kongō in this chapter. I hate it. Poor Cairngorm. I stopped breathing the moment Cairngorm asked if they could be covered in synthetic Antarcticite so they can pretend to be Antarc. It’s too much. Poor thing.

And now I don’t know what to think about Kongō after learning more. But even so, I don’t trust Aechmea too. And what does Phos mean they want to launch a night attack with Padparadscha and Yellow? The hell? I think I am going to lose it.

Kongō being able to touch the gems without shattering them but choosing the alternative is quite diabolical, I don’t know about that one.

That was wholesome! Euclase is so nice. They’re going to make me cheer for both sides and then rip my heart apart huh? I hate it. Bort saying Phos is not one of them and turning on them so fast broke my heart. I know why they did, I understand, I do, but it hurt so much. But in a lighter note, Bort dragging Cinnabar by the necktie was funny.

It was devastating to see the gems who stayed losing it. And I can’t believe that Amethyst was lying and it is Amethyst 84. I can’t with them.

Why do I have a feeling that there’s another option beside going with Phos? I liked seeing the origin story though, it was wholesome.
P.S. the bit with Cinnabar was funny.

Padparadscha is cured! Or are they? I don’t know if I trust Aechmea. I know that I don’t trust him fully. This is going to be messy.

I did not realize that Phos took Padparadscha without asking permission from Rutile. Yup, Phos is finished. So now Dia, Yellow, Alexi, Benito, Amethyst 33, Cairngorm and Padparadscha are going to the moon. This is insane. I hope it doesn’t end badly though I can’t think of it ending any other way.
