The math says it holds its tier up to $17.19, and you are being asked for $7.99.

I could finish this chapter in just 25 minutes instead of 25 hours, actually I wouldn't even need 25 minutes, I could finish this chapter in just 1500 seconds

the never give up diamond meme where the dig site is 5 hours of the most insane absolutely unbearable moe bait you've ever laid your eyes on and the diamond is the remaining 14 hours

Incredible chapter and my god was it depressing. It was great to see a lot of Satoko, the events unfolding were quite confusing as warned, and the way everything ends was just insane. As a new character, Irie was also fantastic and one that I really like. One thing I must note though, is just how frustrating and stupid Keiichi can be, I really think it was at its worst here. The way a lot of his thought processes...
