Obligatory "Smoking kills you" PSA. No real offense if do it, but I grew up around secondhand smoke and I was coughing to the point to where many kids wondered if I had asthma. I never want to experience that smell again; I don't even like the smell of vape.
On topic: small steady character development. Miharu seems to have some hangups about being left behind to the class she "should have" graduated with, and maybe even has some bad blood with a mutual aquaintance of Taiyo's.
