I'm just calling back to 13.5 when Aya says there's 0.01% chance Yuu isn't referring to Hikari. You are welcome to disagree w/ me, but it is reasonable to interpret the following text as Aya was planning to ghost: Where that goodbye is referring to this goodbye: B/c Aya is talking in present...

I think Aya thinks she doesn't deserve normal - calling herself a hopeless loser in 25.5 - and that's why Aya's conditions are an ever shifting goal post . She achieved the goal post of divorce, then things with her mother stabilized after a month, so she moves her goal post to atonement for her...

If I understand you correctly - that she'd drop the image if she felt closer to normal - then I agree. But that's why I think her keeping up the facade is indicative of the underlying issues in the relationship. Aya gave him the perfect opportunity to by bringing up his lying to his parents and...

I think Aya bringing it up would break the image she's trying to cultivate of "the carefree girl", which is why I think she does it obliquely by asking him if lying about her is causing him to regret dating her. I think Yuu would never bring it up first b/c he's deferring to Aya to set the pace...

Pretty sure she took it out in cash so she couldn't be tracked through withdrawals. And this feels like the author wrote themselves into a weird corner where this can't have a happy ending but the author didn't want to go the villain Kuroko she leaves him route.

To tell his parents (and Hikari) about his girlfriend who he is very serious about. I think guilt mixed with worry. She chases the question of him lying to his parents by asking if he regrets being with her: That's why I think his hiding her makes her feel bad. I think it's about more than...

They're inseperable though given that "dominating" is the method through which she lies. He's making her cosplays and she's explaining the context for those costumes. You told me your Aya/Yuu first time fic on me despite my not being a fan of the ship - does that make you hypersexual? As a...

Sure, but it's been six months and Yuu didn't think it was ending. Presumably at some point he would have to introduce her to his parents, and likely Hikari. So what is he waiting on six months in? Yuu can't be waiting on Aya's plans to make herself more palatable* b/c he doesn't know them...

That doesn't change what I'm trying to get at, which is that if it was only that she's saying she'd go anywhere with Yuu than either: a) the outdoor things would just be clobbered onto fireworks (no normal girl preface) b) the snippet on "if I was a normal girl" wouldn't exist b/c it's not...

Just as a side note, twitter's auto-translate has never been all that reliable, especially for character based languages, and xAI's translation engine is also not the greatest. Popping that tweet into Google translate gives something more in keeping with Yuu talking to his mother:

My prejudice that I believe the narrative when Aya says it's an act, that she's always deflecting by pretending to be the "cool, carefree, live for the moment girl"? It's unhealthy in this instance cause Aya is using dominance to avoid being vulnerable with Yuu, which leads her to not getting...

I think if it was just that, then "I'd go shopping, etc" wouldn't be prefaced with "if I was a normal girlfriend". Which I think "normal girlfriend" indicates that the way they've been dating reinforces that there's something wrong w/ her. Especially since this is where the "reaching out"...

She'd known him for a few hours at most. And in their relationship, while Aya may enjoy the sex (sure), she's also using it to "bind" Yuu. That's the part that's unhealthy b/c it inhibits her ability to form a real bond w/ Yuu. She gets stuck in a negative feedback loop where she clings more...

By specifically saying "no, I'd face crowds" and the image being the crowds and her list of normal people things being public things? The emphasis here is on how she'd do public things w/ Yuu, not just on how she'd be w/ him. Because then she's not a dirty little secret. Aya feels like she's...

Hikari flags this as weird b/c when girls do this, it's generally assumed to be attention seeking behavior. And by sex putting Aya in danger, I mean the paid dating apps and walking around in the hotel district and sleeping with a danger. Marin talking about the games she's playing is basically...
