Ripley has been so dense in the past few chapters (duh, why couldn't she realize everyone were worried about her health) I feel like her stupidity might rival Bakarina's. She was kinda okay in the previous chapter when she managed to escape, but now she's back sitting with the perpetrator.
At this point I'm sticking to this manga for Zeronis. He deserves his happy ending after this much headache Ripley has caused. Silvia too. She's done so much she deserves a long break.
