N’High-Tech Critter. Parang gusto ko rin gumawa ng N’High-Pen para may little ENHYPEN-inspired wordplay, tapos under kay Macraine sana since visually inspired siya kay Sunghoon. Kaso ang NH ay initials ni Nijiro Hiyaschi, kaya technically, sa HN-VENTED pa rin siya papasok, haha.

Finally, I felt that satisfaction I’d been waiting for. ◠,◠
          
          That moment when you look at a chapter and think, "Yes, this is it." The kind of feeling that makes you excited to finally share it.
          
          So, after waiting for that feeling, I was finally able to update again.
          
          Chapter 34 is finally up.
          
          Epigraph:
          
          "Psychologically, people often mistake early, genuine feeling for something shallow or fleeting. I know what I feel is real. But I also know timing changes everything."

Professor: "Imagine you're standing beside a railway switch. A runaway trolley is heading toward five people tied to the tracks. If you pull the lever, it will divert to another track, where one person is tied down instead. If you do nothing, the five will die. What would you do?"
          
          Student 1: "I'd pull the lever, Professor."
          
          Professor: "Why?"
          
          Student 1: "Because saving five lives is better than saving one."
          
          Professor: "I see. Anyone with a different view?"
          
          Student 2: "I wouldn't pull the lever."
          
          Professor: "Why not?"
          
          Student 2: "Because if I do, I'll be the one who causes that person's death. If I don't touch the lever, I won't be choosing who lives or dies."
          
          Professor: "Fair point."
          
          He looked toward the back of the room.
          
          Professor: "Miss Asahi?"
          
          Asahi: "Professor, may I ask something before I answer?"
          
          Professor: "Go ahead."
          
          Asahi: "Professor, if the purpose of this exercise is to determine which life is more valuable, then any answer I give would already accept a premise I have yet to examine. Before deciding, I would first ask whether these are truly the only choices... and who created the dilemma in the first place."
          
          Professor: "For the purpose of this exercise, assume those are the only two choices."
          
          Asahi: "Then my answer would be incomplete, Professor. Whatever choice I make would answer the dilemma, but not the question that matters most."

“I used to wonder how to make a titan kneel, and the answer was so simple, so... poetic. I didn’t need to break your spirit, and I certainly didn’t need to match your strength. I just had to put a knife to the throat of your favorite distraction. 
          
          ​You see, you aren't the dealer in this game anymore. You’re just the one holding the card I’m about to tear in half. You’ve traded your invulnerability for a heartbeat, and now that heartbeat is the only thing I hear.
          
          ​It’s time to see how untouchable you remain when your world starts to bleed. Let's see if you're still laughing when the music stops and the curtains fall.
          
          ​Smile! The joke is finally on you.”
