The Proposal (page 76)

β¦ Songβs next move will definitely haunt him π€·π»
I have to admit this specifically is based solely on my own experience with a very toxic relationship. It was a huge added layer of stress knowing they were going to start screaming if I even mentioned someone I was interested in romantically. And we werenβt together. I know that might be sort of hard to understand if youβve never been in this situation but Songβs motives are purely in his own preservation here!

That was incredibly difficult but the stress thatβs just not in my life anymore is exhilarating π

Oh Whiteleyβ¦ugh. Iβm so glad youβre not in that relationship anymore. That must have been hard to cut off ties with that person. Good for you. π

So Song takes if his ring and then gets kidnapped? This is an interesting development and really changes the dynamic of the story. If that's the case, Song isn't to blame for leaving Mansa, which makes their relationship a lot less complicated than it was in the previous iteration.

Every panel of this makes me want to beat Elonβs ass even more

especially Elon after taking his fix of magic, I presume... π
and his decision to leave the ring and the whole proposal out of conversation is absolutely understandable in the context of abusive relationships with Elon π
and it all makes so much sense now! leaving the ring without any note and everything.... π

All the things we didnβt know before that we do now. Except for Mansa πππ Heβs not gonna know any of this until they talk 4 years down the line. Itβs a little comfort to know though that Song was happy with the proposal and really did intend at least to be right back as promised. I hope that goes some way towards reconciliation. ππ

Knowing that this go round Song intended to come back, that he didn't initially plan to just disappear without a word/note while leaving the ring behind, but Mansa won't know that for YEARS, is a whole different sorta pain π
Also I wish this goober had just talked to Mansa first, or even Etty!, to plan this out π£ but I know he's all messed up and not thinking clearly so it just hurts more overall π

Closest to high I imagine, but not a fun high

I understanding leaving it behind, not only to avoid verbal abuse but also so Song can choose when (or if) to reveal that they're engaged.
Context question - What's the aftereffect to 'taking' (drinking?) raw magic like Elon did? Is he likely to still high/drunk/loopy/wired? (Assuming Ghost doesn't stop him before he gets there.)

Okay but my working theory of why song canβt come back is now that he ends up in a bad confrontation with elon and like elon dies (one can dream okay??). And then he gets blackmailed by Ghost, etcetc

So Song meant to come back but something happened either on his way there (which I hope) or on his way back. Probably a certain infernal that has been keeping an eye on him π.
That would also explain why he didnβt write a note. It always sounded so odd to me. I feel like Song would definitely write a note if he knew he was going to be gone for a long time. He would never hurt Mansa like that.

Who cares what Elon thinks?! You have a partner, Song! Stop doing Elon's dirty work, Mansa has the opportunity to make more money! Wake him up, talk to him!!!
