Yo I like how rather and a flashback as much as I love them, we do something different and just sit with a character through them going through their lore, whenever someone's explaining a thing to someone else it's usually skipped over or transitions into a flashback yet this here story continues to be different, I like that
Ah yes akebi continues to use the friendship no justu to win people over, as effective as always
Running away mainly becomes a problem when one is running from their problems as well when it's probably a good idea to face them, although in this case seems yer just avoiding some toxic people which is completely understandable
Oh? I see... Much Yuri...
Have a nice day
