Is this what broke?

Oh shit I get it now the breaking rock is a callback to all the Sisyphus references. Reading the whole series back I feel kinda dumb for not getting it at first lol. Just further points to how good the writing is though that a second full read through can show so much. I'm curious if Sisyphus rock (boulder?) breaking signifies Hime giving up and considering leaving the complicated relationship? The way she reaches for Ruri's hand though seems to signify something different. Maybe that she wants to break the cycle of constantly pushing that boulder up that mountain and fully commit to getting Ruri or something. It's open ended in a good way imo

Been a while since I've read a Yuri where I can feel that aching in my chest bro. Like that feeling of when someone you love loves someone else ugh such good writing. I'm wondering if the end when it zooms in on Hime's lips if she's mouthing "I love you" in Japanese? I don't speak Japanese or anything but it looks vaguely like the mouth shape for "Suki" idk though. I don't really understand what was breaking at the end either. Other than that very very good writing. Solid heart breaking read. Also unrelated but the way Megu is drawn she's so hot. Like something about the nails and femme energy is so attractive lol
