[Alteraucous]

Ever since the beginning, I can't hear "Moko-chan" any other way anymore

[faaresemo]

my bet's on "I dont want you doing this just because I like you. I want you to like me too"

 

[skywardgem]

alright, timer's going, you've got til the fireworks start popping off to talk this out properly, Kaede. Godspeed, you suffering bookworm of a gal

thanks for the chapter!

I'm curious if it's because Kaede jumped in too quickly, and her momentary "what if I don't actually like her" is causing her to spiral on that 'what-if' with the feedback loop making her panic - or, if she really doesn't like Momoko the way she thought she did, and this falls apart for them.

I know she was worried when Momoko went to meet her old friend, and that she seemed to have gotten over that almost immediately the moment Momoko came back and clung to her. Coupled with that, she worried over whether Momoko still saying "I don't really understand love"--so perhaps this is some nebulous "what if this is all just an act/'faking' from Momoko", that she hasn't fully sussed out and identified as of yet, leaving her feeling anxious without knowing why (which, I've found, makes it even worse).
It could even be a combination of things, as there's multiple "unknowns" for Kaede at this point, and they all sorta relate to one another and are all prime fodder for creating a mess of anxiety and worry and fear.

SO, hopefully she can get to the bottom of her unease and her worry, and that she is honest and up front with Momoko about it - like, a conversation where they sort it out together would be ideal, and this series has had pretty good communication between them before now, so it's not even unheard of, here.

But Momoko very much seems to have feelings and love for Kaede, even if she's new to the concept and the sensation of it. Kaede, knowing what she does about Momoko, could be impacted in an outsized fashion by her insecurity over the "realness" of it, but it might require a leap of faith on the part of both of them to see if their feelings are truly there and are reciprocated. I think they are, but.



I look forward to finding out the truth.
And, thank you for the TL work, as always.

Dammit, more useless lesbians. Why do I do this to myself

Is that a question to the characters or the audience who keep falling for it?

Also my first thought, my brain chemistry is irreversibly broken by these two fucking dogs

 

[Redrot]

I get you, Moko. Shit sucks. Hope it's back to fluff soon.

SHE WANTED TO KISS U SO WHY DID JUMP??????

 

[flowsthead]

This is, hopefully, good. She'll finally say what her issue is. Just tell her everything! Communication!!!!!

 

[Kongaii]

Did she come out to her parents? The crying during the call and the apprehension towards kissing makes it seem like she thinks it’s wrong

Well - in ch.11, Kaede was freaking out about the potential that Momoko would end up with old feelings kindled anew for her friend (which, didn't happen, luckily).

But in ch.13, Kaede began to feel uneasy about her feelings toward Momoko even though they were seemingly doing great, and Momoko was being very affectionate toward her.
And at the end of that chapter, Kaede (seemingly, based on her words on the final page) started to doubt that her feelings for Momoko were genuine.

And this is the continuation of that.
