very interesting. i understand the desire for intensity of feeling|experience, but the trust being placed in euryale is not a choice i'd make so i am struggling a bit with the motivations. this was a good chapter to wrap up the arc of the last few, and i am looking forward to seeing what comes next with the village in the forest, and then the northern province and return to the duchy.
The trust in Euryale (at least from Dahlia) was basically solidified from the instant they made contact. As mentioned, communicating in the way Euryale did basically reveals everything about the intent and emotions behind everything they say. Considering Euryale had spoken to Dahlia for literal hours even if kept to fairly simple and basic messages, her positive intentions and lack of any ill will became very very clear to Dahlia. With regards to everyone else's trust though... it's far more tenuous and is heavily reliant on Dahlia having vouched for her. As for the rest of what's to come... yeah, I'm honestly excited and I especcially have plans in the northern territory and duchy coming up that I'm really looking forward to. We're finally onto the final stretch of the Calanthian arc, with the village and the heart being the last of it. I'm glad you're looking forward to what's to come, because I really am as well.
