I mean, this is a nice change of pace after the recent heavy chapters. It doesn't seem to me like the author is dragging it along just for the sake of making money. We need a breather every now and then, and this chapter was pretty cute too.

I honestly think Shino wouldn't have come to terms with her brother's death on her own accord anytime soon, so the whole being snapped back into reality by another person seems like the most natural thing that could've happened without it feeling like the story is dragging on too much.
I know people really like their yuri, but idk their whole dynamic feels unhealthy and codepentent. I wouldn't mind too much if they get together, but I feel like that would just be a slap to the deceased brother's face. Especially on Nozomi's part, as I feel like she sees too much of her husband...
