Cops are the ones who think skin contact can cause an OD.

He was impeached for it, which is charging him with the crime.

PTSD is a bitch.

I am actually somewhat glad that this is a major concern in this story. I feel like it is something most authors overlook.

Sounding is measuring the depth of something. Sounding rods used to be a stick you put into a tank to identify how deep the liquid was in the tank, sometimes with marks on the rod. Maybe I'm just old.

In part because traditional farms scale better than aeroponics or hydroponics. In part because farms don't pay for the environmental damage they cause. Because of these two points, there is little incentive to industrialize aeroponics or hydroponics.

What is true right now is that traditional farms use more water, fertilizer, and space, cause more environmental damage, but require less labor. And the labor problem can be mitigated with robotics, if we're willing to invest in that.

I guess it is like how Rosemyne and Ferdinand have the same mana, since Ferdinand dyed Myne. Devouring soldiers can also be dyed if they partially turn into a feystone like Myne did. I guess you then modify their appearance somehow.

I frakkin' love the bonus panels.

Oh man, a Brigitte and a Philine POV. Always nice to see Brigitte; easily one of my favorite characters in Part 3.

Hoping we'll get to see Georgine's arrival in Ehrenfest next. Curious to see who's perspective we get. Going to guess Damuel's. Gonna guess one other, but no clue who that might be.

Rosemyne being their side's greatest treasure makes sense to me. No need to protect Ahrenbach's foundation at all. So now it is time to protect Ehrenfest. Actually, I can think of a reason to protect the foundation there -- Letizia is adopted, right? Does her metal stay in Drewanchel or does it get moved when she is adopted?

And Ahrenbach soldiers are stealing mana from the land using black weapons. Rosemyne called it: Georgine really has no intention of ruling Ehrenfest, just destroying it. Guessing she'll steal the foundation, destroy the Aub's family metals, and then let the foundation rot. Still, she now no longer has a place to return. She depends a lot on Lanzenave winning against the Royal Family here, which feels like a big gamble for such a master schemer. Guessing she has a backup plan.

Also, the Lanzenavians who traveled to the Villa can't return. I'm curious if we'll see how the Royal Family handled them. They had an advance warning about the silver cloth, if I recall correctly. I want to know what happens to Leonzio.

Best part was when Ferdinand used Myne as a desk.

Granted, there were tons of good parts here.

I wish they weren't in the US either.

With an adverse event rate of 0.06%. Meaning only 33 per million people required hospitalization.
