God this chapter is so tense to read through, it's almost nauseating. Kaede really seems to fully believe her own bullshit and that only makes everything worse. You can feel the end in coming, but for now we're still stuck here.

Thank you for the TL

I don't think that Kon still chasing Ai is a good thing :angery:
I can’t say for sure after this chapter but to my understanding she’s not chasing her anymore she’s trying to help her because she helped her in the past now we just need her to keep her faith in our girl.

I will never get tired of watching Kon choosing to make a stand, rather than just taking things the way they are, the way she has been taught all her life.

Especially after a chapter like this.

Feeling so incredibly bad here for Ai, that's some insidious manipulation. Kaede does excel at brushing over it or gaslighting her every time Ai makes a good point.
I wonder what it is that Kaede actually wants - is it just this feeling of control she is after? Does she believe the things she is saying? Does she want to believe the things she is saying? Is she trying to prove something to herself here?
...curious if she herself knows.

Though I feel I'd need a degree and several sessions with Kaede to really know what makes her tick, in my experience as someone who has known people like Kaede... my guess is no, she doesn't know what she wants either. All she knows is that it feels good to spiral, and it feels good to drag others along with her spiral. To me, the insistence on fate really solidifies her seeing herself as a rudderless ship enjoying the feeling of being thrashed around by the wind as the only way she knows how to feel something. It's only those on the outside that can see her rudder locked firmly in place steering towards a crash amidst the rocks.

Who knows. Maybe it'll be revealed that she fancies herself a manipulator, rather than doing it instinctually and automatically. I suspect we (and the characters) may never know, may never get closure — as is often the case with horror like this. We want to understand, but sometimes all we can do is break away and move on...

I really hope Kon gets Ai out.

Why does Kaede insist on killing Ai so much. If you feel empty inside, convincing someone else to kill themself with you is just insane. I get the mental health struggle but I never wanted to bring someone down with me. That's where she loses me.

Her untreated deppression has left her completely delusional. Instead of a soulmate, she thinks she's the missing piece to her incomplete soul (emptiness)? And the only way to be whole is to die together so the halves can fuse. This wacko bro science combined with the weird ass crystal/gem mysticism is shocking. Can someone this far gone even be rehabilitated?

Ai is in so much danger holy shit 0_0

Somehow this has to be a crime. There's clearly something wrong here that should be illegal but it isn't 😭
