Is "That" A Conjunction?
- "I honestly was bracing for this to be a really depressing episode that ended with Niina betraying Kazusa but I am so glad that apart from Niina reconciling with Kazusa, this episode was able to turn such a painful moment into so many beautiful ones by the end. That is an absolute credit to the writing that as I write this I am simultaneously so emotionally hurt and raw and yet also extremely happy and on the verge of tear."
The underlined "that" seems to be a conjunction. Is that a sort of that as in so that constructions? In other words, Is it right that the underlined "that" is licensed by the absolute that modifies credit?
