For the anecdote, at the time, I was tired of writing sad shit, and I saw the direction it was going to take, so I ended it extremely early, as I wanted to quickly go to something else.
At least it was how I saw it, but in fact, I think it was an early sign of the burnout I'd have soon after, which had me stopping volume 9 after only a chapter and a half, and globally going into hiatus for 2 years.
Even to me, volume 8 felt extremely rushed despite having good ideas, so I feel really bad about it. I think it's the first volume I will write a continuation of, as it is the most rushed.
I don’t remember what D.D. stands for, tho.

For a young woman like her, born in a rich family and used to being treated like a princess, these people were more disgusting than cockroaches. -Hey! I'm talking to you! He seemed to be drunk.

Sadness, nostalgia, and pain. I could think back forever about whether I could have done something. "If only", right? But it isn't realistic. Instead, I lose myself in my memories. I didn't know her for too long, but she marked me. She was unlike everything I knew. She was cheerful, and had true, pure kindness.

For that, I had to find an idea that not only fulfilled that objective but also solved a big enough problem for the devils that no one would notice the implications. [...] I adjust my tie. The time comes for me to enter the devil Senate. The Senate is presided over by the Jade devil, an old devil known to be impartial. I feel the curious gazes of the members of the Senate on me as soon as I enter. -Our current system rates the merit of a devil based on their performance on a summon. While I will propose a few adjustments, it isn't the main problem this proposal tackles.Yes, this is for the second proposal, the one that is made to be rejected.-The main problem this tackles is supply.I take a small pause. It allows for my public to think a bit about the approaches that could be taken, without giving them enough time to get a solution nearly as good as my proposal.-If right now some devils are most likely to get more merits than others for the same work, we need to make sure merit is not judged by quantity, but quality. We need to avoid those devils good at their work being restricted in their achievements by supply issues.

Everything went pretty well. While the voting itself is anonymous, for security purposes, but the vetoing isn't. The goal of this is to have the senate regulate itself. Any abusive use of vetoes would have the senate turn against that person, making the use of vetoes for personal and unjustified matters harder. And so, if everyone felt justified to use their veto on the second proposal, no one used it on the first. I made sure it was well tied together. Their reputation guarantees their current positions, and as such no one would want to risk their own reputation for that. Once the Jade Devil made sure to listen to everyone's objections, it was time for the actual voting. -Good. According to procedure, the second proposa
