Griffith's army (because calling them the Band of the Hawk would be an insult) has found a way into Flora's tree mansion... If Guts didn't get to kill one of the demon grunts, it'd be impossible for him to even reach Griffith without Skull Knight Gaiseric's help.
Some most beautiful moments in this chapter, but also so sad how they've come to be.. The image of Casca hugging the child, and definitely both of them holding the child.. sigh
but i dont think guts and casca can be together again. she is traumatized and scared of him. she deserves better and she should just move on. for people who dismiss guts' sexual assault - look at how badly its scared her. it had a profound negative effect on her. she should leave him.
