Tear Jerker / A Ghost In A Strange Land

• Kratos' situation in general is this. He was ready to hang up his axe, to not fight. Now if he ever wants to see his son again, he'll have to fight in what is essentially Seven wars at various points in the history of another world different but similar to his own.!!

• Chapter 4:
  • Kratos shaking hands with Berserker, a crazed alternate version of his half-brother Heracles as he fades away.
• Chapter 19:
  • Kiyohime's role in the story. Unlike canon, where she helps Chaldea out and joins them, here, she doesn't. This is due to the sad fact that, unlike Ritsuka, Kratos makes it clear he has no wish to pretend to be Anchin. The end result? Kiyohime, despite wanting to be friends with Kratos, CAN'T,as her own Madness Enhancement deteriorates her mind, forcing her to 'love' 'Anchin'. Her Last Request is basically begging Kratos to not summon her. The God of War reluctantly agrees.
