I appreciate that even as Moka is struggling alone, she still makes that small step forward of saying she wants to tell kazuki in the future

I wonder if Moka's ex has moved on and the box cutter from a few chapters back wasn't foreshadowing anything

Dude... The box cutter is TOTALLY Chekov's gun. There's no way we've seen the last of it (or him)...

Yeah, I get that's the setup, but it will be odd if weeks/months passed and he is still carrying it around and is emotional enough to use it

There’s a fascinating juxtaposition between the blinding lights from the fireworks and Moeka’s younger self, skulking in darkness. While everyone is looking above, Moeka glances down, hallucinating about stealing her friend’s food. She knows how gross her thoughts are, but she doesn’t have enough courage to confess her story. Instead, she takes a middle approach: she clutches Kazuki, the physical representation of a different future, hoping that one day she can change.

Although this chapter has primarily been about Moeka, you can see a lot of growth within Kazuki. In the earlier chapters, we are led to believe that Kazuki is a naive wealthy girl who, in her ignorance, will say something insensitive because she was never exposed to a difficult environment. Although this is still true, Kazuki has become more patient and thoughtful; she never aggressively pushes Moeka to be more open, nor does she disparage Moeka despite her apparent poverty.

The narrative is now balanced. Moeka was endlessly patient to Kazuki’s ignorance, while Kazuki is endlessly patient to Moeka’s emotional suppression.

On a side note, it’s a nice detail that they blatantly discuss about having a bad mental health day.
