Blaise Corvin does this thing where he sets a time limit in the book, and then has a character deliver a monologue that takes WAAAAAY longer than the time that passes. He's still playing those games in the last book that came out in September.

O noticed that um Nora, She takes a really long time recaping her sad background, repeatedly.

I was thinking about when Nora's BFF died. Those final words / death speech took like 15 mins. They went on, and on, and on.
Meanwhile a minute thirty eight seconds go by in the world.
-Blaise would have somebody jump of a second story roof and give the Gettysburg Address on the way down.

Typical if anime and manga where there is a complete dialogue on a exchange of moves in they fight.
