Shadows House - Vol. 4 Ch. 50 - Letter

god do i love the shadows but it's so confusing to look at them than the humans and merge them to see the full picture
 
Interesting how this story began with Emilyko as the apparent central character — a diligent little girl in a nightmarish monstrous world — but has become a story in which Kate is the heroine.

I worry about Kate's prospects. The Shadows have been living parasitic existences, and I'm not sure that Kate can survive liberating the humans.
 
I think Kate is fine with the idea of co-existence as the relationship is inherently symbiotic actually, but there is two problems. First, Shadows can not exist with humans and humans are naturally fearful of what is different, thus making children having positive relationships with shadows important. Second, the ultimate goal behind the Shadow House is creating superior lifeforms that are loyal slaves, and this results in them enslaving humanity for vessels
 
it was brief, but i finally got my wish to see barbie.

i figured the soot surrounding susanna in that room would be enough to smear the letter to reveal the secret message, but i guess it must not be as thick as soot produced through anger? or maybe she simply didnt hold it for long enough.
 
The TL is much appreciated. Like another commenter mentioned, in previous translations the shadows all used their names to refer to themselves, rather than personal pronouns. Because whether or not a shadow uses personal pronouns is significant (such as the cloaked shadow from earlier chapters using "I" when no one else did), I think it would be best if this was preserved in the English version.
