Anyway Yuuko was speaking.
And this looks like it’s the moment! The thing that caused all the details of the world to change!
How WILD that Yuuko reaches in to clarify it’s possible BUT you’ll change so much else in the process. And specifically mentions the guilt. The guilt is part of the price, especially for permanently changing everyone’s lives.
OH.
OH THERE WE GO. THERE IT IS.
The reason that Nadeshiko and Fujitaka were disproportionately affected by the Time Change is that they knew about the curse. And just… How wild that their act of secrecy ended up limiting so much damage. I wonder if they knew? Or at least were aware of the possibility? That if they told Touya and Yukito, let alone Sakura and anyone else, that their lives would also be Up to be completely irrevocably changed if it came to this?
Nadeshiko and Fujitaka putting it ALL on the line to save their daughter, and betting with not just their current lives but the entire course of their existence in order to save her. Of course they would. They lost it all to save her, but they paid it, presumably, willingly.
The alternative is extremely dark.
But either way, Yuuko is upfront with the fact that Lava Lamp himself will take the Full Responsibility for ALL of this and what it entails. Which is a truly wild amount of responsibility to place on a 13/14 year old, which really feeds into what he mentioned last chapter. The PHENOMENAL, UNIMAGINABLE weight of completely changing the entire lives of all the people.
I have to assume the price he has to pay is the Lava Lamp Experience, which is probably only that low on the tragedy scale because the Full Cost of Fujitaka and Nadeshiko’s entire current existence is also counted against the price.
OH YES, HERE WE ARE. The cost of turning back time IS the Trapped in a Lava Lamp Experience, AND Fujitaka’s current existence, AND Nadeshiko’s current existence, AND the Guilt, AND His Freedom, AND putting his life in great danger, AND being completely separated from Sakura, AND her not knowing HIM at all, AND having to watch seven plus years worth of the parallel life play out through someone else’s eyes, with all the pain that brings - AND in all that, no guarantee that he’ll even be successful.
Here we have it! How big the Prices of these wishes can really get!

I wrangled a very pissed off jacked as hell semi-feral cat (Zoro) into a tiny cat carrier today for a vet appointment and he didn't scratch me even once. Zoro gets neutered March 6th, when I will have to wrestle him into the tiny cat carrier yet again.
Also got a haircut today. It is actually a mullet with buzzed sides now, there's no argument about it anymore. The demon that wants me to grow my hair out again is finally winning

I feel like the difference between the book and show versions of Kate and Constance is best summed up by the state of their rooms. Because Book Constance has like. Moldy muffin wrappers and 600 socks scattered around the room, which Kate is always tirelessly attempting to tidy.
And I'm going to guess that Show Constance's room is immaculate based off the state of her hair, while I know in my heart that Show Kate's room looks like a tornado passed through it.
