This volume was a full on emotional rollercoaster. Like it really is just so absolutely devastating that this is how Kou’s brain works. We’re introduced to Narumi who has gone through very similar familial problems as Kou, but in her case, she was abandoned and I think even without that being a factor, I’d still feel terrible. Do I agree with any of the decisions she’s made? No, but I also can see why she said the things she said and acted the way she did because at this point, she feels she only has Kou as a support. Grief is a bitch and can make you do ugly things. I just hope Kou stops shouldering all of it on his own and for once does what he wants to do.
