Thank you! To be honest, when I was translating, it took me an embarrassing amount of time to realize that, indeed, the two guys were one Akiyama-kun's Dad™ all along. I put the two and two together only when the house he built was shown - it's the exact same house Akiyama-kun is living in now as was shown in chapter 12. It's crazy the difference not going to a solarium can make, I suppose??
wow thank you so much i've missed them a lot!! they've come so far somehow.. on the other hand imagining the dad detanning out of grief kaneki ken style is too funny lmaoo
