HELLO. Today's episode is pretty darn long (for me). I was determined not to cut it short so I could post earlier because some TEA happened, lol. Literally just completed the episode and y'all regulars know I work on the episodes all throughout the week until completion. I don't know what point I'm trying to make with this lol, but anyway it's super duper late now, but hopefully Webtoon gives me some grace as they have always done with much patience and kindness! Love you guys <3

So excited!! MPL is always worth the wait, thank you for putting so much care into your work for us to read! 😍

Love it!!! Her giggling at the end was perfect! What was with Quincy's look there though?

Rozzy

It's always worth the wait sweetheart. You push yourself so much and it's always appreciated by your loyal regulars. 👍🏻

Christena Wade

I’m super new here: like literally just downloaded the webtoons app this past week and I’ve read MPL twice, finished my second read through earlier today. But yeah I love it and thank you so much for it.

Emily Basso

Okay the tension here is sweet sweet bliss and I should feel bad about how stressed and confused all these poor characters are but I’m not. HURT THEM. HURT ME. I’m craving allllll the masochism 😍❤️‍🔥

Capricarma

That's the best letter of offer I have ever read. I accept the terms!!

Mel Johnson

A lovely episode! All the feels! <3

kinkajou

That am I a joke to you was funnier than I was expecting. Good job Lily and team 😂😂

Julianne McDorman

So good!!! What was that look Quincey gave Poppy after she giggled? I need to know!! Hilarious, that job description was hilarious. I love that she learned some stuff about Tora too <3

Merina

Awesome episode!

LV

💜💜💜

Meghan Miller

Can I just say that every week I think it’s funny and totally awesome how frickin fast the hearts and comments multiply when the episode is finally up. 😂🥰

Jo Aspen

Okay I know people are tripping off Quincy's look or whatever but...SHE STILL HAS TORA'S SWEATSHIRT I FUCKING LOVE THAT

larosamorada

Always worth the wait! 🥰🥰 Seriously though, I need Tora to be the recruiter for my next job 🤣🤣 Job Title: Feelings Hooker Job Scope: Listen to Quince bitch and moan Working Hours: Long enough to keep him outta my hair. Salary: *throws wads of cash* This enough? (Me: "Per week?") Nah, per session. He never shuts the fuck up.

Diana Scarry

Poor Tora is so in the doghouse... I love it.

frannie

Omg we love you Lily!!!!!

AEGAST

Dear lord where do I start? Ah I’m so proud of poppy for sucking up her pride and calling tora but on her terms. Also, I think Quincey was trying his damndest to keep talking about the silly things that Tora did to lighten her up. That’s what I think *that* look was for. He saw she was glowing. So he took it and ran with it to salvage whatever he could for his bff. Also, damn Tora is JEALOUSSSSS. But if he knew that she literally REACHED for the stinky when she needed comfort. Ah the feels.

Natalie Huber

I'm crying at all the hamster references 😂😂😂 we love you lily!

Ashley

Loved Tora’s letter 🤣🤣 buuuuuut is it just me that felt sad with Tora was just sitting on the ground, playing with grass? It was like you got to see the kid that was always been held on the outside. The way he’s sifting his fingers through the grass makes me feel he never got to be a kid or accepted. I dunno 🙈 I get this defensive energy from that panel that he feels he doesn’t belong and cannot truly feel safe to express himself. POPPY!!!! You gotta break that insecurity down and show him, he can be himself and he IS ACCEPTED for who he is.

TeHeeJones

Omg can't get over her offer letter... Working hours: Whatever the F I want. Salary: "Say please" Tora 😂😂😂!!! Got to love that Tiger 💜!!!

Christine

The thing about Quincey’s look to me seems more like maybe surprise, like he finally really sees what tora sees in poppy. A love triangle between the three would be mess and I just can’t imagine that it would happen because Quincey and tora means so much to each other and Quincey knows how much poppy means to tora and his feels for her. I just can’t see Quincey moving in on poppy and hurting tora like that. I could be wrong but I really hope there won’t be a love triangle

Elena Trueblood

Loved this week’s episode!! Our Chief Executive Hamster has me cracking up with her silent treatment for everyday he lied

Pallada

Ummm, is Tora the actual CEO of Odilfy? 🤔

Erin S.

I had the same look on my face as Quincey when I got a look at that job offer. And you know that HR person was like, "I don't know about this, but *I'm* not going to be the one who asks *him* to clarify. I like living too much." I love how sweet Poppy is, trying to "be mean" but hating every moment. And that the silent treatment is the worst she can think of. But she'll learn to set stronger boundaries. Tora will be sure to help her with that and help make sure she sticks to them. This car ride is going to be delightfully awkward for everyone and will go one of two ways. It'll be terribly silent with incredibly stifled conversation attempts, or Poppy and Quincey will chat the whole drive and Tora will just grumble in the driver's seat trying not to be overly annoyed with Quincey while trying to not be distracted watching Poppy the whole way

Kellee Wallace

@lilydusk Just know that if you ever decided to turn MPL into a book, you can just take my money now. That is how much I love and appreciate this WEBTOON. Thank you for all yours and your team’s hard work. And that offer letter had me rollin. I love Tora’s sense of humor 🤣

Christina Agan

Anyone else feeling very bad for Tora? He looks so out of place.

Sarah Hernandez

Erdene to Poppy: "He'll rip your panties off before the night is over" Quincey to Tora about his green shirt: "Unless you want her to rip it off" The MPL fandom is both Erdene and Quincey😂🤣 Tora being gentle with the plants😂🤣 I too had the same look and bursted out laughing at reading the job scope😂🤣

Julianne McDorman

I also want to say, thank you for giving Poppy curves and a normal tummy that isn’t 13 inches in diameter! And a booty! And thighs! It’s so refreshing to see a real body instead of the impossible ones we usually see on WEBTOON. She’s freaking sexy and Tora is ALL ABOUT THE FAT HAMSTER BOOTY!!

emilyjean

Incredible angsty tension aside, it was so heartwarming to see Poppy run to Tora’s jacket as a source of comfort! They’ve both had intense panic attacks and yet they don’t reveal their mental spirals to each other. If Poppy told Tora she was having a panic attack, he would immediately run to her side (and same if Tora told Poppy about his spirals!). They have so much connecting them even when they’re emotionally distanced. 🥺 Quincey’s look reminds me of the face he made back in S1 when Poppy said she views Tora as a normal guy. Sort of around the lines “Damn, she really sees all of him.” But since he can only hear Quincey making Poppy laugh, Tora is treating the nasty pang of jealousy with a cigarette. I really feel for Tora but I am so looking forward to Poppy unleashing her full feisty hamster energy in the coming arc!

Keely

I truly don’t think Quincey’s look means love triangle. I think it’s more of what some other people have been saying of Quincey starting to see how much Tora and Poppy care for one another and that Poppy can see the real side of Tora and not what he has been forced to be. I think he’s trying to make her laugh about Tora to maybe ease her anger towards him a bit even though her anger is completely valid. It’s been pretty clear that the feelings between Tora and Poppy are strong and Quince sees poppy more as a friend.

Noshoutouts

Those clippers just took him from uncle Tora to zaddy Tora. And Poppy has me and my MILF body out here buying crop tops Great job! Thank you for bringing us such layered characters!

Darla (Tora’s THOT)

I giggled at him with his shirt cause I have one so similar 😆😆😆 and I hate wearing it cause my bra straps show! But it looks so much better on him ❤️❤️❤️ I kinda wish poppy just accepted the offer and is like gimme the title BO$$ A$$ BIIIITCHHHH!!! (I mean that in the best way possible like QUEEN HBIC) but in due time. POPPY PLZ ACCEPT 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

Nunucat

Chief executive 🐹!i love how dark we will head too but these details them teasing each other is so cute!

Defebwar

My brain stops functioning every time I see Tora in this outfit. I need help 😅 I mean, every outfit is *chef’s kiss*🤌💋 but still. Something about this one. 🥵 Lily, your powers are too strong. Real life doesn’t stand a chance. 💖🖤💖🖤💖

Seazar

So much stinky goodness 😂 I kinda liked Poppy bitching at Tora for being gentle with her things. It’s such a real reaction. It would be heart warming normally, but she isn’t ready for that, she doesn’t want to feel appreciative of him right now. So she lashes out in the opposite direction, to remind herself she’s mad, and him, too! So proud of her for sticking up for herself and setting a clear boundary that yes, she is accepting his help, but it isn’t forgiveness. And oh my, that job offer. It is hilarious to us, but does anyone think Poppy wouldve been upset by it even if she wasn’t mad already? Because I think she would have been. She prides herself in her hard work and likes to be appreciated for her own achievements. The job offer just drives home that it wasn’t extended to her based on her own merits. But under normal circumstances Tora probably would have been able to turn it around 😅 Even though it makes Tora feel excluded, I’m so happy Poppy is laughing with Quincey. She needs that right now, just some levity. And it’s still centered around Tora! It was just so cute how she was stuttering slightly and wanting to hear more about him. This was a fantastic episode!

CatW

This girl needs to hold onto her mad a while longer and just explode at Tora so she can move forward. He's made so many mistakes when it comes to her, even though in his mind he did those things to protect her and fix her situation that he screwed up in the first place. Yes, they need to communicate and clear the air (more) with all the danger so she can plan her next move. Hopefully, Tora will apologize and prove himself through supporting her, not fixing things for her. Having your free will taken away is demoralizing, and Tora knows all too well what that feels like. I'm glad there was some levity provided by Quincy. He really is the best friend that you can rely on. And him lounging and reading the paper while Tora works was so funny to me. You can tell this has been their dynamic for so long. This was such a good episode, and I can't wait for the journey Lily will take us next week. Take care friends!

GeekGoddess

You are always worth waiting for. Thank you for doing this.

Agne Jasiukeviciute

Thank you Lilly, I laughed so hard at the shirt and hamster trying to be all gangsta and the job description is priceless 👌🏻I love your sense of humor really! Can’t wait for Poppy to explode though…

Dani

Awwwwww Quincey noticed what would lighten Poppy up concerning Tora so he's using it to help her want to communicate with him again❤❤❤

Splinters

Yeah, you're always worth waiting for!! I loved this episode. Tora playing with the grass, Poppy glowing because she's in love and Quincy can see that, the matching outfits, Tora looking like a shy boy dying to get her attention but is trying to hide it, etc. Such a cute episode

Foufay

Loved the episode!

Rachel B.

Quincy definitely gets the skills of distraction from his and I quote " Mommmmmy!" 🤭🤭

Reeree

My highlight for this episode was Qiuincy’s giggle at Poppy’s job offer. I really felt that giggle 😃

TicklemeAli

Wooooooweeee ok let’s get into it. This one is a little bit long, bare with me. I’m a bloodhound for details and Lily has served a FEAST. Poppy, girl I feel you. I feel you deeply. And for me it just goes to show how much she is hurting. I don’t care what anyone is saying, she is crying, those wipe wipe wipe are tears. Angry and hurt tears. And for me that just shows how much he had gotten inside her heart. Yes she’s still mad and even more so because I don’t think she herself has realized yet,just how much she cares for him. I feel that we are back to that train in Moonbright, I don’t know you,but more so, I don’t trust you. She’s questioning everything he has said and with good reason. Remember she just met him a month ish ago. Is fair and is right. I feel for her even more when we see the flashbacks of her weekend. Pride or Sanity. Damn,talk about damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Our girl realized that she’s outsourced, outgunned and basically pretty much out of her depth. To make that phone call, it must have been very hard to take every last bit of pride in her and swallow it just because she realized that self preservation was the only way out. It’s already a huge blow to her shattered self-esteem. And then we get to the job proposal… Yikes tiger. Big yikes. You’re just on a snow ball of “shit I fucked up again” that just keeps getting bigger and bigger. And I’ll have to give it to our love expert. Our tiger has finessed his grave digging skills. He just made himself a full kitchen with a pergola. Sorry Tiger but you’re gonna have to lay in it for a bit. Don’t worry thou, we all know you’re getting out eventually and it’ll be all the more sweeter. But for now YIKES. Let’s get into it a bit, maybe yes it was/is funny… for us. Because WE and him know that it came from a place of love. But let’s put it in perspective. The biggest firm, a place you can only dream of getting into, sends you a job proposal that’s basically…. A joke. Not only that, but anyone who has worked at an office setting knows that people gossip and talks. It sets the tone of how she, specially, will be treated in the event that she does accept. It’s not good and her embarrassment is palpable. Cue in our Mafia Prince coming in clutch to save his Neanderthal pal from further scorn. And here is where our girl shows us why we love her so much. She laughs and calls him( tora) a dork. And this is where everything shifts and once again I’m reminded why Lilydusk is the baddest bitch when it comes to story telling and portraying emotion in art. That panel of Quincy. “REALIZATION “ oil on Canvas.2022 I will admit that panel of Quincy is telling. Is when you finally really REALLY look at someone and finally you realize what everyone else sees, that somehow was obsure to you all this time. She’s GOOD. Let’s be real, Quincy is very frivolous and I believe up until that point he never really understood the appeal or the reason for Tora’s actions. Sure he knows she’s beautiful he checked her out that first time in his apt. Busty brunette with a nice ass and oh brownie points she’s an editor. That panel made me think of another scene. The day that Quincy met Poppy, and Tora was betta reading. He questions Tora why he hasn’t dealt with the notebook since he already has the girl’s address “it’s completely unlike you”. This are the little lilycrumbs that I love. Throughout the comic the people closest to Tora have questioned him again and again on his actions since meeting Poppy. Is not the norm for him. And we, like the rest, forget that Tora has a past, and has been, up until he meets Poppy a very VERY different person. To me this is the moment that it finally clicks for Quincy. The WHY. Why this girl. Because she’s GOOD. Because even though she is mad and rightfully so, she is still able to see the good. When others drown in their biases and leave them at face value, this tiny, courageous little thing, goes beyond. Is the same blind optimism that Tora told Poppy Quincy has. He sees it in her. And it clicks. This is why. Now calm down Patricia, Im not jumping on your ship 🚢 yet. But, I will say, in my experience soulmates are found in different shapes and forms, in family, in partners, in friends. And while I don’t think yet that Quincy’s feelings will flourish in that way, I do believe our mafia prince has found his optimistic soulmate and has officially jumped the Stinky clan and joined the Flower Clan. How will this development unfold we’ll see. But I trust the process and I trust Lily. We switch back to our lone and scorned Tiger and boy oh boy. Someone is shutting down. Let’s break it down for all time sake. The girl I like/love is pissed off at me, but is laughing and joking with Quincy possibly about me. “Whatever I don’t care”. Ohohohoh but you do, youuuuu dooo my boo. Here’s the thing. This is the first serious relationship that we know off, of Tora. He is not used to a lot of things but it becomes more apparent each time, that apologizing, saying sorry, admitting that you’re wrong, using your physique to get out of trouble ( yeah tiger I saw what you did there. And while I do believe that the physical change pertains to a more deeper shift, he still uses his good looks to get out of trouble and this time it didn’t work), are things that he will have to come to terms with and start doing if he wants to live the life he hopes. The thing about self growth is that is not a straight line, is hard, is painful, is isolating because the first person that you need to come to terms with is yourself. And that takes time, and courage, and blood and tears. And I love it because it means that he will grow 🌱 it means that he will be all the more better for it. But in the meantime is not going to be fun, and it will hurt… A LOT. I’ll leave it here for now but this chapter was just 👩🏼‍🍳 💋. And as I re read it, it just keeps giving me more and more. Again a thousand offerings to your shrine Goddess. You are the GOAT 🐐 at this.

Dwam

this low cut collar is 👌🏾✨

Nicole Vogt

Yikes… the amount of professional cringe allllll over that offer letter is PAINFUL. I would just die in her shoes. Poppy was so proud of where she got to professionally at Goldfish and now there’s a good possibility her new coworkers will wonder whose “desk she got under” for her new position 😬

LyricWitch

Wow, this episode just has ALL the feels, doesn't it?! I mean, we've got tension, sure...that was to be expected (and it delicious, indeed 😏), but ugh, Poppy's anxiety back at her apartment...🥺 poor girl. I doubt when she was starting her new "adventures in the big city" that she anticipated THIS would be the kind of excitement she'd be experiencing. I think back to when I was that age...I would have been an absolute mess if I'd had to deal with a fraction of the things being thrown at her. That frame with her head down over the laptop...that's a girl who's been overwhelmed for far too long. 😥 I absolutely adored the moment with the jacket. That was the tension breaker moment we all needed (both Poppy and the fandom, lol). It was funny, and sweet...I mean, as mad as she is, showing that Tora's still a beacon of comfort to her, even if she's not ready for him to be there with her, speaks volumes. She needs time, and space, and he has some major groveling to do, but all is not lost for these two, it seems. ❤❤❤ I tell you, after the moments glance into the kitchen and seeing her anxiously walking around the parking lot, my heart just about broke when she made that call. I can just hear her voice, soft and low, when she said "Tora?" 🥺 and though she gained a bit of control back after that, it seems like she's at a breaking point. Though it's hard to admit, she needs help. And THEN there's Quincey...good old, predictably...well, Quincey 😂😂😂. Just sitting there in a director's chair like "I'm supervising" while Tora does all the work packing. OMG, I laughed so hard at this!! Someone else here mentioned this seems like it was probably their typical dynamic, and I definitely agree! Poor Tora, though...he looks so defeated, not being in her good graces 😢. And Poppy's just barely holding it together at this point. It seems only through sheer stubbornness and a willpower none of us would likely possess that she's not running back to his arms, even if just for a brief bit of comfort. And NOW we see just how deep the tiger dug that hole he's making for himself...c'mon!! "It was funny at the time" ?!?!?! 🙄🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Oh, Tora....you are in SOOOO much trouble, and you know it, too. 😂😂😂 I can't wait to see how he's going to try to make THAT up to her. But bless Quincey for helping once again to ease the tension. That giggle and the first genuine smile she's probably made in days was a breath of fresh air. Tora seems pretty left out and a bit angsty from his position in the doghouse out there on the curb, but I think they're going to be okay. They're not out of the woods, and there's still a lot of hard conversations to be had, but it's a start. I absolutely cannot wait to see where this next adventure leads! Thank you Lilydusk for another brilliant episode ❤

Chloe Hopkins

I don’t know if you’re aware just a heads up but Quince’s newspaper isn’t there in one shot! Loved the chapter

AEGAST

God we haven’t even touched the fact that Erdene, Danny or is it Danae? Lol or mirabelle have been trying to succeed in operation PPC. But I’m just a petty bitch. I can completely understand poppy and where she is coming from at being upset. But! There’s so much left under the surface that if everyone came out and said their piece on everything that they have been doing behind her back, Poppy would have Britney Spears 2007 moment and I don’t think the fandom is ready for her buzzing all of her gorgeous hair off. We all know how cranky people got over another haircut. But in all seriousness I want everyone to come clean so that Tora isn’t the only one in the dog or is it cat house in this case? 🤷🏻‍♀️🧐 Oh and and and! I laughed my ass off on the date portion of the offer letter because no one fucking knows what the date is at this point. I don’t know if that was a nod but I took it as such. Also Poppy saying “always honest” my fat hamster ass. Dead. So dead! Yes bitch. Own it honey. You are the hamster that stole the tigers heart. And she has been having a lot of colorful language this chapter. Sometimes you just gotta say fuck. It’s fuckin’ cathartic, sweetheart.

LouCas27

Erdene and Jacob are #TeamTora and it’s hilarious! I loved that we get to see THE jacket and how it somehow gave comfort to Poppy. Speaking of the jacket, I wonder if we’ll also get to see Inspector Lane soon?

BumbleBlueBee

I politely told anyone to scram when I read the episode. I swear everyone wanted in my room when it popped out. (I have a daughter, husband, dog, cat, and MIL.) It was a bloody awesome episode. Tora and Poppy need to hug!!! Of course more but let's start off with hugs and a good talk

Nicole Vogt

Anyone else think it’s flipping hilarious the mafia has an HR department!!! 😂😂😂 That would made a phenomenal gag strip LOL

Gaelle Touzé Veckringer

This face Quincy made when Poppy was laughing… makes me feel she recalls him someone. So much mistery in only one picture ! Art of narration I guess. Thank you for this episode.

AEGAST

Soooooo I just thought back to episode 13 when Quincey is asking to borrow Toras hat for when he wants to go out on the town. Tora says no and Quincey is like “women hate possessive men.” Now. We have Quincey laughing with Miss. Editor…while Tora is sitting his ass in the grass. That deep seated frown he gets on his face…it kinda jolted me a little. I am trying to give him benefit of the doubt that he is just hurt/jealous but what if…he was fighting with his sub-conscience by saying “whatever it’s non of my business “ almost shutting up that part of him?

Kat

I've never wanted to lick on a mans neck more than I do right now. 🤤😉

Lana

I love this picture of Poppy snuggling up in his jacket. no matter how pissed off she is, she misses him. Somehow this picture says as much about her feelings as she is worried about his reputation if anyone should hear her. this is love It's also interesting to see that Tora listens to his every word so as not to upset his hamster any further. Though I don't know how well he handles the feeling of Quincey and Poppy laughing at him. (Although I appreciate Quincey breaking Poppy's iceshell). I'm curious how long she can be mad at him. Funny thought: the nasty little CE hamster lets out his frustration just like he did back then in Tora's apartment. When Tora was sick. It's a fun idea for me. It would be a great way to relieve sexual frustration. But I'm really looking forward to the safe place outside of Narin. That leaves a lot of room for speculation 🤔 what do you all mean?

Emily Buch

I have a question... out of curiosity. Is there a reason or significance as to why Tora's neck tattoo is missing? I noticed his neck is looking a bit... naked.

JaxStarGazer

This is going to be a quick and far less in depth look into this episode, purely because time and exhaustion are working against me. But that in no way means I didn’t enjoy this episode as much as the others! In fact, I really felt like we were coming into the light a little. I’m sure most of that is because it’s day time now and just seeing them outside for some of this has lifted the dark cloud still looming over them. But I can’t help but feel a sense of - hope? - at the end of this one. But I’ll get to that part soon. Straight off the bat Poppy is snarky and snappy with Tora, and I don’t blame her. Not only has she felt undermined and lied to, and she’s understandably angry about that, but it must hurt too. She’s been catching feelings for Tora - albeit slow and sometimes in denial - they’ve still been there regardless. So to have him do what he has, it's got to smart more than a little. They’ve got some serious talking to do at some point and some real honesty thereafter to patch this up. I won’t lie, I was mixed before at the idea of Tora trying to get Erdene and Jacob to bring Poppy round to the new job thing, but when he said, “Why are they being so nice to me now?” I breathed a sigh of relief that that wasn’t what he’d done. But it was good of him to think of her friends and not just get Poppy a great slot in a top company. Or so we thought at the time. Pft pft! Also, this brilliant idea Quincey had, was it a new book? His expression looked like his muse had struck hard and now I need to know what this idea was, ha. Wow, Poppy really is struggling to come to terms with all this hardcore news, isn’t she? She thinks how half of her still can’t believe it’s true. I wonder if the other half has something to do with that mafia comment she made back in Moonbright…No, I am not letting that go, LOL! I love the insight into what she did that weekend. I’m still hugely impressed that she went back to her apartment. That act alone tells you how pissed and upset she was with him for what he did, or didn’t do depending on how you see it. But then the fact she stayed rooted to the spot the whole morning, looking for a way to extricate herself without relying on Tora, said how deep down her head was buried. I wonder how long she would have possibly tried to stay there if she hadn’t been given so much scary information the night before, and it was just the break in she’d had to deal with. Don’t mind my heart, breaking a little as Poppy gazes towards her kitchen and gets a bad feeling. All those dark panels around her really highlight where her mind is going being in this space and I really feel for Bobby. And then my heart started going overtime when she looked towards her washing basket. I knew exactly what was in there and I got the biggest grin as she contemplated it. So to see her hugging Tora’s jacket and snuggling it…I can’t! That screams so much to me and that’s where my little bit of hope is starting to bloom. Despite what went down between them, that reminder was everything I didn’t realise I needed. Throw in her, “I’m with the stinky clan, who are you motherfuckers with?” and I started to giggle hard! You tell ‘em, Pops! As hard as it was to see Poppy have a panic attack at the thought of stepping into her kitchen, the visuals of that whole sequence were amazing! My heart starts racing just seeing her break out into a sweat, seeing the kitchen all but tunnel vision as she panics is squeezing my heart so tight. Her safe space has been ripped from her now and the shit just doesn’t stop. “Pride or sanity? Pride or sanity?” I’m glad sanity won, but I was surprised she called Tora and not by-pass him and spoke to Quincey instead. I initially thought to myself, if I was in that position I would have choked it down so I wouldn’t have to talk to the person who broke my trust. BUT on deeper reflection, I don’t think I would. Poppy did the right thing, even if it has felt like the control was yet again taken from her. She is a bundle of emotions right now understandably, so I felt this in my soul - “...while feeling livid at being treated like an incompetent child who’s unable to handle the truth and make her own decisions.” I’ve been in situations where I was made to feel like that many times and it cuts a little deeper each time. OK, did I feel sorry for Tora in this chapter? Absolutely. Watching him be so careful with her plants without realising she was watching, was another ray of sunshine to my flower of hope for them. He’s being respectful of her things, far as we can see he hasn’t pushed her to talk to him. He knows he fucked up and he’s taking the consequences of that. It in no way means I’m siding with him though. He’s just oozing kicked puppy vibes in this episode and I automatically respond to that. And judging by the flushed look on Poppy’s face, he’s inadvertently chipping at her resolve. So she comes back swinging, glaring and snapping as if they’re not important to her. Which just tells you they are. But I get it. She’s hurting and she wants to make the person who has hurt her feel some of that too. Again, I’ve been there, I’m not proud to admit. But I’m glad she’s still pissed at him. I’m glad she’s not letting him off the hook with this. They absolutely need to talk, but let her have her moments of showing him just what he’s done. And the fact she feels bad about it just shows her empathy for people. Shout out to Quincey who just pulls up a freaking chair and watches them work! I was howling when I saw him parked up like that. I can never get enough Quincey sass in my life! Oh bloody hell, the offer from Odilfy…Tora you absolute genius for how funny it’s worded, but total plonker for actually going through with it! As if Poppy isn’t questioning her worth right now as it is, you go and do something dumb. Quincey’s reaction was the exact same one I had! I know it’s not funny on the deepest level, but it was a bit of light humour that was needed and will no doubt come back to bite Tora in the arse later on. “After he attempted to rage quit the clan.” When I tell you the images that went through my mind of these moments happening, and the laugh it gave me…Tora, tiger, buddy - I love you. Thanks for the laughs at your expense, it was just what I needed! How did he get away with trying to pull those stunts though? I need some flashbacks to these moments, LOL! I’m not really sure how to interpret Quincey’s expression as he gazes at Poppy looking cute as hell as she laughs calling Tora a dork. I’m not so sure it’s one of attraction, as a lightbulb moment of him realising WHY Tora is losing his mind around this little firecracker. I know there’s been some talk about a possible love triangle to come up between the three of them. And the biggest thing that strikes out at me about that is, would Quincey really do that to Tora? So I’m keeping myself away from that romantic possibility and I’m going to sit back and see where Lily decides to take us on this amazing and wild story! I am curious though, if Tora touching the grass and flowers is some way of grounding himself? He does look lonely and left out sitting out there waiting for them. But again - you brought this upon yourself bro. So despite him being all sad and down during this episode, I really did finish it feeling like there was a small sliver of hope. I don’t think it’s going to snap back to happiness. But for me personally, there felt like some signs that meant they can repair this; Poppy especially with how she chose to try and set some boundaries. Thank you Lily, for giving us such a long and fulfilling chapter! I can’t believe it’s coming up to 100 episodes, this story has me as riveted now as it did when I first came across it. I’m nervously excited to see where they go from here.

=Hello, thank you for your summaries or analyses. I always look forward to your publications. My level of English is quite poor. And reading your texts always helps me a lot to understand better the episodes of my favorite webtoon. Thank you so much for sharing!

I noticed that you can see through Quincey's newspaper and him in this episode when he's sitting on the chair outside (panel 19). It looks like the layers got messed up?
