Don't have access to a decent scanner. I get the mag about a week late (and read/translate it myself). BTW, there was no chapter this month (it misses every now and again).
Also, Jean doesn't forbid Victor to go after Triela, he just tells him "you're on your own." (no backup coming).
Lastly, the bit (since deleted) about hoods and contact sending Henrietta over the edge refers to an incident in the most recent chapter (#82).
I'm getting a bit worried about the scanlations, they seem to be pretty sloppy. The Triela/Victor dialog about Henrietta's reset reads like a "do not resuscitate" order (Victor even asks if Triela is making a will).
The "All love is unrequited" bit seems to be a poor reading of the scene. Not that they're all happy at the end (they ARE pretty drained), but that scene is much longer and hits several notes, and Triela doesn't seemed drained by the "other woman" so much as she's put all her cards on the table.
A quick summation of the scene (the whole thing happens at the outdoor range).
Victor asks Triela what she thinks of (post reset) Henrietta.
Triela: (Paraphrased) Well it's pretty spooky to see that we cyborgs are held together by black magic.. By the way, if I get that bad, I don't want any heroic measures.
Victor: Is that your will?
Triela: Yes..
Cut back to Triela, looking a little awkward. We haven't talked about this, but I know you're only here for me. After I'm gone..
Victor looks distinctly uncomfortable. "Triela.."
Triela jumps subjects. Oh yeah, you got back from Naples the day before yesterday, how is Roberta?
Victor (startled, regaining composure): Same as always.
Triela looks up at him, smiling slyly (she knows! a nicer version of catching out Mario back in chapter 3). She's a good person, treat her right [lit. you, give her happiness] (who's the parent here?).
Triela "Before the battle, it was good to see her wasn't it." (no explicit subject, but the construction points to Roberta).
Victor "Yes, it was good to see her."
They're drained in the last panel, but mostly because they've put most of their cards on the table (We don't know what Victor's letter to Roberta said).
And we still don't know how this is going to shake out because they've been cornered for the last 5 months (Triela is the "story" character, not the "plot" one).
Edited by DrDedmanI think we're going to have to make a change with "Hilshire", Il Teatrino and other translations (including the German one) have rendered his name as "Hirscher", I'll lay good odds the omnibus will change to match (Victor just doesn't seem like he could pass as English). I tend to just use "Victor" when I can get away with it.
I notice in Alessandro's section that his example for "Non Action Guy" is seemingly taken from the battle at the nuclear plant. Is this true? Publicly available raws for the manga only go up to chapter 77, before that battle begins. GSG fans would be very grateful if that troper could share the later chapters!
