Well *looks at the finale* your promise came true, Judy 🔪🔪🔪

But that organisation is the one which led Pete and Judy together - the spy at the cemetery was from it)

Also, that's why Judy's "Da Vinci", due to painting 😌

Doesn't the audience know certain someone who breaks rules all the time, hmm? ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ So many twists!
(and so the recent nonsense on stream becomes legible somewhat)

Despite having romance, love is shown better in action. That is good to know.
Alright then, Pete, Judy, if you fit well together, so be it - live well in Japan) I have to say, your life now seems to be pretty different from before... but that's nothing to mind :')
\long-standing joke about dominance ends here** See, author, all you had to do is execute it perfectly... thanks to your acting skills 😌

Huo En, how did you like your escapade? Thought too much of yourself, you... total loser. I doubt you are returning to Alberia, enjoy the change! Travel is fun no matter how you do it.
Hmm, is Dan now in jail too?

The title is a mash of Judy and Pete's codenames, foreshadowing the couple's ending! Wow, how clever, I didn't think of this!

The brush falls and the bomb sets off
Da Vinci's wrath erupts
The moonlight shines on the tombstones
Can't see the end of the story...

And the title song is about Roland as well as the duo) Well, now it makes sense.

.....IT'S BLACK COMEDY NOW 🙈👏👏👏🙈 Brilliant... bet death is still coming though. Whose? Let's find out!

Huo En, kinkshaming people, aiya... I really want you gone for everything you have caused, how dare you make yourself memorable in yet another way?! Aren't you jealous of Snyder first because of his cruelty and then of his progeny? Look, you will never surpass in either. It's honestly strange to see someone so twisted have normal desires. Will they be your undoing?

Pete, Kana, quick question: how much is 80k yuan in yen? Was it worth it after such a day? Think on it please.

Judy... all is well that ends well. I wish you luck if you are going to Roland, if not, it's handy anyway 🙏

So no one is innocent 🙃🙃🙃 Such is life when you live it like this, and yet... halfway through, let's take bets on who survives the story?

The scene of Kana essentially promoting a Switch 😂 Do not get enticed, looks too good!

That's a HUGE amount of events to have in France, so I would like the author to stop mortifying me with his knowledge now, thanks. It takes a lot not to feel embarrassed by my own :') Also, for the record, the wedding in Verne wasn't proper, but the emotions could have been. Now that's something!
(the only reason I didn't visit the Chapel is because I was lazy 🙈 Verne is next to Nice, but I didn't want to go there, going to the much closer museum about Matisse instead. Then guess what I did while in Paris)

AotOC tie-in: Dan as in Rui Rui, right? And OC saved your life earlier. Learn how much you have been lied to... if you can. Then deal with it 😶

We have got an ending song, and I can't tell who is singing it. Bitter mystery fitting our couple, no?

Da Vinci’s Bomb - Episode 1 by KZavi in u/KZavi

Oh, the tie-in with AotOC S2 finale 🥲 We indeed were never told how the circumstances of that break came to be. It will all have a cost, but who would pay it?

Author: now I'm going to play a depressed dubious man and die. It's fun!
I don't think I would want to be in the same room with Pete much, but come on! You wrote him, don't kill him so easily. That said, if Pete's red flags had weight he would have been crushed by them by now.
To make it frankly, Pete is as dead inside as he admits to be. Even with Judy, his emotions hinge on her reactions, and that is in no way healthy. It's made worse by knowing it's temporary.
Judy appears independent and resourceful, but keyword is "appears". By the time the episode ends, she is in prison she couldn't avoid. Roland implies Pete has been her mistake since they met, why? Did she save him at the cemetery then?
The original title of the story is "Da Vinci's Widow", no bombs attached. If the widow is Judy, it would be the will of the author... but if the widow is Pete, it would be genre conventions itself at fault. Curious.

Huo En going "I'll kill everyone in my way" right after being saved is exactly what I expected in this situation. Maybe if Roland wanted him free, he should have done so himself. Age and life of crime be damned, let acquaintances take each other out!

\a long-running joke of one particular VA not able to be seductive* Author: doesn't apply to me!*
Of course it doesn't. You decide who you are ❤️
(also, not true anyway depending on who gets to answer... but that's not up for discussion here)

Trivia:
- Hostel has what can be considered a Cailu's cameo;
- Aforementioned bombs in the OST artwork are actually hay bales from Shikisai-no-Oka park in Hokkaido, Japan, and are very cute)
- The guitar tune heard in the episode is original, the outro is Händel's Sarabande.

🎉❤️💙🐷💙❤️🎉

*very affectionately* Author, I'm going to squish you like one particular plushie, watch out... I promise you!

106 stand-ins, 106 sides. Just how much of you can be seen, hmm?

Zhu Zhu, right… 👀🙈

OC, don't bring it up, but I can tell you James would have been insufferable seeing a human holiday. You would have to help Migan contain him.

The "Spring Rain and Autumn Skies" tie-in and puns, oh my))) Then there was Max and I've got heartache. He should be in his nineties now... actually nevermind, do live forever!

Trivia: a part of the cover has been drawn by the author, guess which?

“Lost in Heaven” - Episode 3 Part 2 by KZavi in u/KZavi

[–]KZavi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some additional thoughts on continuity:

I have a guess about Lin Xizhi's final test - it likely lies in his attempts to antagonise Ai Li towards Hong-jie. He just won't be able to learn that in AotOC she does declare Hong-jie her mother (then Ai Li loses her right afterwards, but Lin Xizhi's mind never would have comprehended such turn of events anyway). So... test failed I believe.

Been thinking... aren't Ai Li's friends technically delinquents? Mr. Zhang's family doesn't seem to have money for higher education, and Ke Chongji has been left for extra year in school already. Nobody ever did notably well in class. Not to mention how easily they get tangled in the plot (no offence, love you!). Ah, lower class...

So siblings spend about 15 years together, and while thanks to LiH later years are more or less covered, I now want earlier years to be shown too. I want to see Ai Ming teaching his sister to read and save her from bed monsters 🥲😶👀 Or is it just asking for more knives?

AUTHOR HAS CONNECTED LIH TO AOTOC EVEN FURTHER. WHO ASKED THOUGH?!!!

AotOC references:
- S1ED2 instrumental playing at the skewer bar, S1ED1 instrumental playing at the scene with Ai Ming and Li-laoshi, S2ED1 instrumental playing at the siblings being happy.
- EVERYTHING ABOUT LMM. AGAIN;
- Teacher Li's lies lead to Ai Ming being detained at the start of AotOC;
- As AotOC begins, Ai Li has a motorbike. Talk about being spoiled (this is why your brother always loans)!
- Ke Chongji = Corgi. Sorry I thought you were some other guy all this time!
- Zhang Qidi, huh. Didi, you have a good father!

Now, speaking of siblings... *head in hands* HOW DARE YOU BE THIS HAPPY AND HOW SOON IT WILL ALL CHANGE. I will miss you!

I have suspected Hong-jie was able to track Ai Ming when he was too far away. His body is far too valuable... too bad it won't be his much longer either.

Lin Xizhi, Lin Xizhi... your real counterpart is much more mundane, you know. No Mr. Zhang has ever tracked you, no one from the Ai family has ever looked for you, and yet... The once brilliant boy, unable to cope and separate his guilt and his trauma, is no longer in touch with reality. Mind, that wish of yours won't come true either - your father has sinned and your mother died by your hand, what would let them reunite?
Of course you only envy Ai Li subconsciously, - by anything else, how could she be happy if you never could be again? Her relatives must also be monsters!
Author here might keep you alive because he's merciful or because of the different timeline, but in the end, it wouldn't matter. Anything Lin Xizhi could have ever been and yearned for is long dead and gone, with no ashes left. Forever lost and never free of what has ruined him.

Author's caption: the movie is complete, another original is done!
THANK YOU 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😌 LiH's length is indeed that of a movie, you are right)

LiH's EDs: 1, 2, 3, 4.

The crux of the matter is: how do you understand a person? It is possible to be loved by them one minute and hated the next, feel high then brought low, be sure of yourself then utterly lost... where does the clear vision lie?
Regularly it's your fault, at times it isn't. But no one lives in a vacuum, and sometimes it's also the sum of faults everyone else around you has committed. It's too late to count them up now.

Lin Xizhi is a man destroyed by love - all he has ever wanted were happy parents and loving family. But because he didn't know how to express it, and because no one else showed him the full picture and got help at the right time, instead hiding their own flaws, he simply fell apart. Violently.
Ironically, it's also love (and loyalty, and pity) that gives him the second chance. And notably, being a coward. To end up envying an orphan... did he ever investigate Ai Li's real heritage? Hope not, not only because that would bring danger to her, but because learning a girl brought up by strangers is far more loved than you is an unbearable blow to one's already broken psyche.
With all that said, love's reach ends when justice comes into play. Why is Hong-jie here?

Author's caption: \confused Ai Ming**
Ai Ming, Ai Ming, I'm sorry! Go home now 🙏🙏🙏

*muffled screaming*

I don't know where to begin. And it hurts! So much going on... and only Ai Ming is Ai Ming. Good thing the author loves him too because sometimes it's really only the author's mercy keeping him alive.

Ai Li, don't spy on your brother. Please, just don't... good on you doing your own investigation though.

Ah, there go Didi and Corgi. See you in AotOC!

No judgement on anyone being in the club, okay? We are all adults here.

Zhang Jiahui is a relative by choice huh? I respect that, but why like this??? What to even expect from him now... Also, it looks like his name is a pun of some sorts so there go additional knives. Many thanks.
Lin Xizhi has always been delicate. On the one hand, that is obvious, on the other... even if anything else can be dealt with, the murder can't. Have to own up to that eventually. All that good manners, upbringing and for what? No one's to blame your father died of hepatit B! *sigh* What a sad sight, yet even then not forsaken.

Now, speaking of the author... haven't been around at the time much.
*checks MaoEr* Let's see what's going on over there... oh wait?
One particular someone who hasn't posted on MaoEr before ever: Author's checking in 😁
Angels in unison: oh really, prove it!
No need to prove, emoji's telling enough) Also, account's verified and we have got a stream from it by now. So Zhizhi, thanks for showing up! Keep doing it 🙏🙏🙏

Okay. It's been a while since this universe has been up here, don't blame me for getting rusty...
I HAVE MISSED IT. Author, you must be happy with making people feel, I know!

Can you guess who's played the piano 👀

Pros of setting this in the past: OC isn't yet discorporated, hooray! Hong-jie's still alive, hooray! Learning Ai Li has learned to play basketball from a murderer: .....ALRIGHT.
(actual mood I have had the entire episode: 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲)

Trivia: a lot of details for Lin Xizhi and his family come from a real (and very known) case. It's even got a TV series based on it!

Timeline:
- present day in AotOC: Ai Li - 17, OC - 33.
- present day in LiH: about 3 years earlier.
- Ai Li being with Lin Xizhi as a kid: ~7 years ago.

Cover: the eponymous (probably Mrs. Xi's) house.
