somehow im still not bored of this
some progress would be good though
You know, in a weird way she has progressed quite a fair bit. Though its been subtle and not in your face progress, she is still a good bit better than in the early chapters.
Notice how she isnt as severely self depreciating as before, has less manic depressive episodes, tries to work with Rihito in her own weird way. Respects boundaries more than she used to while still clearly (and aggressively lol) communicating what she wants. While grumbling and complaining that she cant cling to him, she still doesnt do it at work after being told off about it.
Probably the most important development she's had, she not only tries to befriend Reni but now accepts when something she asks for is unreasonable. She used to cry and yell more but now she just grumpily accepts that yes, what she did ask for is indeed unreasonable. Its fine to want unreasonable things, thats normal, but you still have to accept it even when you dont like it. Noa has been doing that a lot recently.
Rihito: "we just talked about tpo. No hugs in the office"
Noa:
pouts and doesnt do anything else but accept it
Pretty low bar but hey, progress! Lol
